Constellations (2024) are portraits drawn in shaped and burned cedar with moonstone beads. Two figures, drawn from sketches of daily life are indented into thick chunks of charred cedar. Moonstone beads are affixed in the grooves of the drawings, creating constellations. Artworks made from a storm damaged red cedar collected on Salt Spring Island.
