New public art series in Calgary. Special thanks to Arts Commons!

I have just started a new series of hand-carved clouds on curved oak seatbacks salvaged from the renovation of the Martha Cohen Theatre.

Knowing this is my preferred medium, Arts Commons provided me with a truckload of carpentry grade 12 ply oak.

Calgary Arts Patron S. Neill has sponsored the first several carvings in the series that I plan to install as public art in 2025 and 2026. Be on the lookout for “Pareidolia Clouds” coming soon!
