Hand-formed Stoneware Clay base, food safe quail egg glaze, locally foraged Red Osier Dogwood and Wild Willow, Canadian Arctic Driftwood.
10x10x19”
This piece draws inspiration from the landscapes of the Yukon and the natural materials that root us to place. Its organic form recalls the movement of rivers—channels that carve through the land and through our lives, shaping terrain while carrying and holding what is left behind.
Driftwood collected from Atlin Lake, on the Yukon–British Columbia border, serves as both material and marker of place, becoming a vessel of memory that connects the work to the landscape from which it was gathered. Dogwood and Wild Willow, ethically foraged closer to home, extend this dialogue with nature, while the stoneware base draws influence from both the bedrock of the Niagara Escarpment and the delicate markings of quail eggs from my homestead.
Sculptural yet functional, the work reflects the duality inherent in nature itself: enduring and ever-changing, rooted and in motion.
