THE CHARTED WATERS STORY

Original chart material. Reclaimed frames. One of a kind.

Each work begins with a retired Canadian nautical chart selected for its coastline, landmarks and visual character. The composition is cut by hand, paired with a carefully chosen reclaimed frame, and finished on Vancouver Island.
