Sculptural Vessel - Turtle Canoe
Carved from a storm damages St. Boniface Manitoba maple, this sculptural vessel carries the quiet strength of both land and journey. Its long form and curved ends evoke the shape of a traditional canoe … the kind once carved from trees to move with the rivers, across lakes, through time.
The textured outer surface resembles a turtle’s shell, grounding it in a deeper homage to Turtle Island … a reminder of where we stand and what holds us.
The grain glides from end to end like a current, warm and golden, with small natural knots as markers of memory. It’s not perfectly smooth. It doesn’t need to be.
This piece is meant to be seen. Held. Asked about.
A sculptural centrepiece that invites conversation and speaks of movement, memory, and place.
