Underneath It All

Underneath It All explores the balance between strength and fragility. Wire figures, delicate embroidery on handmade paper, and organic drawings created with handmade berry inks reveal vulnerability, inner structure, and quiet resilience. The collection considers the layers of identity, connection, and experience that exist beneath the surface.

Embroidery on Handmade Paper

Through embroidery on handmade paper, simple stitched forms trace figures and inner structures with care and restraint. The tension of the thread and the fragility of the paper remain visible, allowing each piece to exist between delicacy and strength.

Each original Embroidery on Handmade Paper work is available for $500 CAD.

Cherry Ink on Paper

These drawings are made with ink created from wild cherries foraged in the forest, the same environment where the subject figures are photographed.

The ink is applied with sea sponges, allowing the surfaces to remain organic and fluid, while figures are outlined with a calligraphy pen. Stains, fading, and irregularities are embraced as part of the work, highlighting fragility, impermanence, and a close relationship with the natural environment.

Each original Wild Cherry Ink on Paper work is available for $500 CAD.

Wire on Canvas

Bent wire figures are mounted on canvas to form simple, linear bodies that exist between drawing and sculpture. The wire bends easily yet holds its shape, creating a sense of quiet strength and restraint. These minimal forms suggest internal frameworks and containment, balancing stability with vulnerability through subtle tension rather than mass.

Each original Wire on Canvas work is available for $650 CAD.

Wild Berry Ink on Paper

These works are created using ink made from foraged wild berries, including Saskatoon, cherry, raspberry, and blueberry. Applied with sea sponges, the ink allows the surface to remain soft, organic, and irregular. Figures are outlined with a calligraphy pen, creating gentle structure within fluid marks. Staining, variation, and fading are embraced as part of the process, reflecting fragility, impermanence, and a close relationship with the natural environment.
