Hello!
Since Spring, 2014, I’ve been making primitive, fun sculptures that I cobble together with found objects and recycled scrap metal and wood. My inspirations are old, handmade toys and folk art and I try to work within that spirit, making do with what I have on hand and working with limited technology. I also enjoy working with paper and I apply these same principles to collage.
This book serves as a catalogue of my work which was exhibited at The ARTS Project Crafted Christmas Show and Sale, in London Ontario, from December 2 - 18, 2014
