These works trace back to where I’m from, Alberta, known as “Wild Rose Country.” The wild rose, was named the province’s floral emblem in 1930, chosen for its ability to thrive in harsh conditions and bloom with quiet grace across the prairies. For me it’s more than a symbol, it’s a memory of home, the fresh air from the rocky mountains, the wide open fields, and the crackle and pop of a nearby camp fire. Its a stubborn beauty that survives long cold winters and can carry different shades of purples and pinks.

The glass in these works is meant to be seen as a delicate structure, frozen in time, holding the memory of a place that once was. Representing where I come from, a past life, that I moved away from, one I thought I would never miss nor wish to return to.

The stone anchors that fragility, creating a duality that with time those thoughts change, and you start to miss the place you once called home. Together the three pieces suggest we can inhabit many stories at once; the personal, the spiritual, and the environmental, between the places that shape us and the ones we carry within.
