Waterfall

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.

Glass fragments cascade over a surface of stark black and white, evoking both movement and fracture. Created in response to Canada’s failure to provide clean water to Indigenous communities, this piece reflects both the structure of waterfalls and the flow of broken promises. Its high-contrast forms draw the eyes of children, inviting a new generation to see clearly what has been ignored.
