His long term vision is to cultivate a space where people from the DTES can come; work with their hands, create, and reflect on their own circumstances & strengths.
PROJECT STATEMENT This is the 1st design in my MINERALOGY collection. Inspired by Diamond structures within the confines of a circle. It consists of a range of reclaimed materials including; weathered cedar, painted and distressed cedar, elk hide, worn leather and acrylic.
