The piece

Why this one exists

The spiritual partner of the little egg vase in this collection: same tree, same blue resin, grown up into a bowl. The pour set into a blue eye surrounded by the maple's red inclusions, and together they read like a planetary landscape, some canyon on Mars photographed from orbit. It is, frankly, a sci-fi bowl. The rim, the shape, everything about it is futuristic to my eye, as if it were carved for the galley of a starship, and I mean that as the highest compliment a prairie maple can earn.

The tree

It stood here

The door-knock maple again: logs on a St. Boniface front lawn, a knock, a bowl promised in trade, and a tree that keeps turning into new pieces years later. The pin marks the neighbourhood; the street is lost to memory.

The glow marks the neighbourhood. Exact addresses stay private.
