Free standing sculptures

Birch, White Pine root, and Spruce resin, all born of Mother Earth, are shaped by the skill of Indigenous hands. Moving through fluid pathways with grace and resilience as honoured ancestors of the Kenu. Cedar strip, canvas covered, aluminum, fibreglass, and Kevlar, pay homage to those who plied these waters for millenniums. Respect was given to all who shared this land. This message must never be ignored, as we honour our origins.

I revisit this place drawn by a mysterious reminiscence. A shoreline bows in an ancient, but welcoming stance for all who respect its gifts. Escape the rushing rivers where obstacles force us down paths not of our choosing. Be still, and listen to a world at peace and free from competition and hate.  Inhale the spirit’s breath, and rejoice in the promise of paddles at rest.
