Among the sculptural works from the studio, car hoods, gas caps, and sun roofs are transformed.

This weekend at the Salon du livre in Montréal— a book signing for RED: A Haida Manga alongside the unveiling of the new Canada Post stamps celebrating RED and the studio’s ongoing work. Grateful to everyone who stopped by! It was an absolute delight.

With new work now on view at the #VancouverArtGallery, we're taking a moment to look back on the Raven Travelling (2006) exhibit also held at the VAG. Pictured are the Tale of Two Shaman illustrations and War of the Blink. How time flies!

Who tells the story? Looking back at Meddling in the Museum (2007), a playful disruption of the expectations of museum display at the #MuseumofAnthropology. Included the Coppers from the Hood, Bone Box, and Pedal to the Meddle!
