Inspired by the fossils of Mistaken Point at the southern tip of Newfoundland, these wall-hung sculptures bob up and down like ancient, filter-feeder animals on the ocean floor.

They began as scraps; the cut remains from a project about native plants for a nature preserve and research center. Here they take on a new evolution, where cones and leaf-like structures allude to animals lost on the evolutionary trail more than 530 million years ago.

The colors embody those of the Newfoundland landscape... its plants and stones. Reflective pigments glow and shimmer, like the ocean at sunset.
