my new Snowboard way too cool butters are near

2010 FORUM Scallywag Snowboard 158cm

Make way for these tattooed rascals in the landing, because they will be stomping their tricks while flat-based riders are sweeping for the buried treasure of their goggles. It’s not the screaming, pillaging or drinking of ale—although that helps—but ChillyDog Continous Rocker that gives this board its mutinous grrrrrr. The continuous rocker floats the board either forward or switch, butters like margarine in the park and prevents hook on its way up and out the transition.

Well where is this show ?

RECENT WORKS BY DANIEL DUROCHER Opening Saturday, April 10th 7:00 - 9:00PM

Over the last several years I have been looking at ways to repurpose objects and materials destined for the landfill. I assemble artifacts that I have collected into finished pieces by playing with the texture and pattern found within the material. Retaining its existing finish helps tell the story of the object and creates a history for the finished piece. I like the way the material helps define what can be made from it. The process of listening to the artifacts while creating the final piece is satisfying because a previous life is revealed in this recycled work.
