Everything that Glitters, is not Gold
Everything that Glitters, is not Gold:
As we purchase more and more shiny, plastic consumerables, we add pollution to the air and slowly change our environment. Using iridescent gold and silver to express the seduction of all that glitters, but also the high price we pay." Cut down the trees, and put them in a tree museum.
Pave Paradise, put up a parkin lot."

70s Nonchalance
70s Nonchalance:
Today's generation are growing up with a more sophisticated knowledge about the environment. 70s Nonchalance is about my childhood, where recycling and carbon footprints weren't being taught in Kindergarten. I sit comfortably not realizing how precious this long, solid piece of wood is. A solid tree made in Canada, cut down and used as a sustainable bench, with the smallest carbon footprint possible. Something that will last a lifetime and not need a landfill, or a major factory to produce.
âWe have not inherited the world from our forefathers â" we have borrowed it from our children.â

Red Squamish Trees
Red Squamish Trees:
The strength, determination and will to survive is what it means to be alive. As thin, scraggly trees face the challenge of growing through rock, their leaves dance in loose brushstrokes. As a visual statement of will, they manage to find nutrients high amongst the rocky cliffs.
