The Fifth Room

Timothy Nash Johnston is a photographer, artist and teacher. Upon graduating from Mount Allison University in 1987 with a degree in Fine Arts, he moved to Mexico City to develop his career. Over the next twelve years there, he developed visual projects using a variety of photographic tools such as his own pinhole camera and a new technique of repurposing aging photographic materials, with surprising results.

On his return to Canada in 2001, he continues to teach art and develop visual ideas, creating two more pinhole projects and expanding the use of photo chemicals on exposed photo paper. He has added to his repetoir a significant number of sketchbooks using the humble ball point pen and a large group of small soapstone sculptures- fins, wings and limbs.

He resides in Mississauga, ON.

The Fifth Room refers to “El Quinto Cuarto”, the fifth darkroom I built in Mexico. It was a room on the roof, usually the maid’s quarters, of our apartment. Much of the work produced in Mexico came from that space.
