I was invited by curator Maiko Tanaka to make a work for Nuit Blanche in Toronto. I opted out of making a spectacular thing, and created a more temporal, gradually unfolding installation. In Butterfield Park at the Ontario College of Art and Design, I made a garden best viewed by moonlight (with the help of landscape architect Emily Hogg). The installation was accompanied by an edition of 250 cards, each including a seed for a night blooming flower, to be planted in spring. These were distributed to visitors to the site throughout the evening.

Here’s a bunch of sculptures I made in Banff in 2015. I was there to work on ideas for a public artwork, but ended up scrounging around in the metal forge (not making anything remotely monumental) and experimenting with ceramics. Most of these pieces are made out of materials discarded from the forge – scrap bits of bronze, aluminum and silver, and some red wax that is used in casting.
