Description:

I like to recreate and build on various scenes and events that happened over the years. Having spent most of my summers on Georgian Bay, this is where many of my memories were created and I have no chance of running out of events that I can document and build on to create my three dimensional sculptures of cowhide.

This leather sculpture is a rendition of the campsite where we spent the night of the big storm that passed through that area of northern Georgian Bay on August 2nd 2006.

This leather sculpture is mounted on a raised plywood base and is sanded smooth and painted black.
It is hung with picture wire screwed to each side.
I have used damp vegetable tanned cowhide of various thicknesses, that is first dyed and then painted with acrylic paints to get the colours and it is wet formed freehand to achieve the shapes and folds of the trees and rocks.
