‘A Furnished Landscape’

Once only a source for furniture, landscape here is inspired by a chair, a table, and a bed. By using furniture as a starting point, a series of sculptural installations set into the landscape suggest a new relationship to nature: a river’s edge, a field, a forest and a clearing within it, are uncovered by a plough, one way furniture can give back to our Ontario landscape.
