• Canadiana: Wilderness Weirdness provides a distinctive design through form, detail and handcraft. The practice of object making utilizes traditional pairings of domestic materials with traditional and contemporary manufacturing processes, resulting in objects that reference the Canadian landscape/natural environment. The physical structure of each piece is influenced by the simplicity of minimalist sculpture, and enhanced by craftsmanship, texture and marquetry. Each piece is handmade; building an honest union between the product and maker, who is dedicated to the creation of well-crafted, unique designs. Within the home these pieces represent a reunion with the wilderness, their primary source of inspiration and a reconnection between craft and nature.
