In an earlier incarnation, Tom Legrady designed and operated theatre lighting for VideoCabaret International and Toronto theatres, including Theatre Passe Murraile, and Factory Theatre Lab. Returning to the arts from a career in software, he has photographed for Vera Frenkel, Nuit Blanche and Gallery 345. His first exhibit, “Transformations: Trona & Toronto”, held at Gallery 44’s Members’ Gallery in September, 2012, contrasted unoccupied residences near Toronto’s High Park with abandoned, vandalized, gutted homes in California’s Mojave Desert. His work continues to explore the aesthetics of abandonment, focusing here on the relics left on their neighbours by absent structures.
