'Goldie' | 58" x 52" | wool, silk and foraged colour 

​

A living architecture, large in scale and formed using ancient felt making techniques, this piece borrows warm mid-summery hues from true spirits of the season - marigolds and chamomile. Along with grounding pigments from acorns and walnuts, the wool at the foundation of this installation is steeped in wild pasture sun and Lake Ontario breezes, for a deep and sure indoor connection to the elements.  

 

Goldie was designed to offer a sustainable connection to the earth for a long-term care facility, allowing for a self-serve

approach to the natural world. For residents, family and staff Goldie offers a warm whisper of what might otherwise be somewhat out of reach.  

​

 

When we are closer to nature, we are closer to fine

 

 

‘Goldie’ will be on exhibit and call home to the new Extendicare long-term care facility in Kingston, Ontario, upon its grand opening in 2023.
