Bound Between Seasons
Bound Between Seasons is a series of unusual sculptures and familiar shapes that subtly connects artists experience with disability to a seasonal occurrence that appears scattered across Canadian properties in late Autumn: Objects tightly swaddled in brightly-colored tarps.

Bound Between Seasons est une série de sculptures inhabituelles aux formes familières
qui relient subtilement l’expérience des artistes en matière de handicap à un événement
saisonnier qui apparaît dans chaque propriété canadienne à la fin de l’automne.
The tarped forms that inspired this project seem familiar but are not entirely identifiable. Regardless of the objects’ true identities, these objects hold enough importance to someone to deem being cocooned and sheltered from winter’s impact. These forms are reminiscent of the human figure with the tarps acting like skin or blankets. The rope binds the objects in order to secure, contain, or restrain it, which is jarring against the thoughtfully wrapped tarps that encase the objects, like a newborn thoughtfully swaddled in a soft blanket. The tarped forms sit plumply upright on the horizon, as if to be alive.
Bound Between Seasons is based on a seasonal occurrence that appears scattered across Canadian properties in late Autumn. Swaddled and Bound integrates physical difference into a body of work subtly by studying and celebrating the behavioural similarities between the human body and the places where we converge with the land. In one instance a form could be a car under a tarp, or, beneath the surface may lay something more internally complex, less easily understood, and more isolating in nature.
