Original art on reclaimed wood
I found this wood panel in my brother’s barn. It was cut from a highway sign. I have added small copper rounds (as eyes) from some electronics I disassembled.
After we experience something, the memory of it begins its own journey in our mind.

This was the back of an old vinyl chair I found. There are machined holes near the corners and some glue residue that was absorbed into the wood and remained after removing the upholstery, cleaning and sanding. I used the holes, glue stains and wood grain as starting points for the characters. I drew this mostly at Woodbine Beach in Toronto in 2019.
This piece curves out from the wall as you may notice in the shadow, making it more unique. I am currently working on this piece, so this is still a work in progress. I will be finished by the end of August.
