We are very excited to share our latest artwork installation, in collaboration with Hamilton-based indigenous artist Sharon Trottier in Sunnybrook Hospital’s Executive Wing (Toronto). Titled, “Spirit Sky and Healing Earth: a Sacred Balance”, the piece celebrates the link between our worlds as well as the linkage of all nature at all time.
Created from recycled plastic waste, the majority of which was collected from hospitals in Vancouver, this installation diverts an equivalent of 2,050 plastic bags from landfill.

From the sketchbook...
A grid rendering playing with spatial relationships of horizontal and vertical lines bumping into concentric circles. This is a study of balance between thick and thins. Unlike my regular works, negative space is unrestricted, allows the shapes to dance independant yet balanced.

From the sketchbook...
Not quite sure what you might see in this which is precisely the point. There is no set conclusion here. Rather, I'm hoping your mind tries to figure out it's own conclusion. Even just looking at this, you might notice your mind trying to find a shape to connect with another shape to form a connection. Despite the lack of any identifiable object other than shape, your mind might get frustrated and try to see the many small shapes as one big one.

Now, put yourself in a forest. Isn't there a similarity here. Twigs, branches and leaves everywhere with no sense of order. Yet, for whatever reason that disorder has its own unity that always seems to calm those walking through it.

We transformed 15 lbs of old paint pale lids into recognition awards for ProductCare's retiring Board Members. Not only a great way to salvage plastic waste, this is a signal to stakeholders that they care deeply about the environment in every detail - even the awards they give as a reflection of their values and integrity.
