About
Humans are pattern seekers. It makes traversing life easier if we’re able to predict what’s coming. We’re drawn to patterns for safety, and so patterns have become a comforting sight. I’ve grown particularly interested in the patterns that water creates. Rain drops in a puddle, light refracting through a glass of water, or the shimmering light off the surface of water on a sunny day. There's so much information packed into these fleeting moments. I wish to capture the liminal beauty hidden in these transient moments that catch us off-guard. Through my wood carvings I attempt to document these ephemeral events that are easily missed in our typically humdrum lives.
Carving wood by hand is a slow and repetitive process but I get into a rhythm chipping away and love it. I work out of a fixed up old barn in the backyard on a little island in the east coast of Canada. I’m a self taught woodcarver and I’m interested in the patterns time creates. Each line represents the event of its own creation. These carvings are documents of time. I'm most active on my instagram.
