Oil & Water

These works confront the dissonance at the heart of Canadian identity -- no celebration of people, nature or innovation is complete without deep engagement with our failures. Created using broken glass over bold black-and-white forms, the pieces evoke both wound and window. Textured like beadwork, scar tissue or water droplets, they invite exploration of what it means to belong to a place rich in ancient wisdom and beauty, yet still in need of healing.
 
Made for the next generation of Canadians -- my children and others -- these pieces are an act of hope. They reflect a vision of Canada that acknowledges the past while illuminating a future built from truth, beauty and repair.

This tension-field explores the ongoing Canadian dilemma: balancing ecological stewardship and economic responsibility. Through concentric, intersecting curves, the piece shows the uneasy harmony between these forces that resist blending. The mosaic texture underscores the fractures in our national narrative -- and the opportunity to rebuild something intentional from the pieces.
