Sculpture

FLOATING
This series of sculptures was inspired by the west coast fishing industry. I was given cedar and cork floats but did not want to make literal maritime artwork. I have deconstructed, carved, split and added other objects to create these pieces.

MATERIALS
Sorting through my collection of objects I produced a few stand alone pieces.

WEATHER AND WATER series
This series is in reaction to Climate Change. I want each piece to stand on its own as art in your home but I also want it to be thoughtful.

HOME IS HOME AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOT series
What is the difference between house and home?
Home is an idea while a house is the manifestation of this idea. A house cannot be a home because there is only one true “home” in each individual’s life.
Home symbolizes the nostalgia of original place.

RIVERBED FINDS

Clay pipes are a common find especially in English or Dutch riverbeds. They were one use and thrown away at the end of the day.
In 1558 tobacco was introduced by native Americans and in 1573 the first clay pipe was made. By 1914 they disappeared due to cigars, cigarettes and briar pipes. The pipes can be dated by size and style.
If you do the math you know how long the pipes have been in the river beds without decomposing.

HOME IS HOME AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOT

WHAT IS YOUR ADDRESS

RENOVATON

Pride of house and home has definitely taken front and centre for many people. We can’t travel but we can make our homes beautiful and be our calm space. Probably kitchens have been the most used room in the house as we all hunker down and cook comfort food.

RECOVERY

HOME IS HOME….SERIES
For every dollar spent on nature restoration, at least $9 of economic benefits can be expected. This statistic is dear to my heart as I was a tree planter for many years. During this time of rest nature has had the chance to rebuild and recover.
