Jack… Master of None is my latest figurative sculptural piece, showing at the Pulse Gallery (the Forks) Winnipeg as of tomorrow. Jack is quintessentially Canadian — a “type eh” personality who takes himself somewhat lightly. Hand-built fired clay figure/assemblage with turned wooden elements, shoe stretchers, and knife-blade propeller; oxide stains and cold finishes. 250mm diameter x 500mm height

Please come for a visit (10:00 to 18:00 on Saturday and Sunday)!
