Carpenter, cabinetmaker, woodcarver, joiner, The French use the term menuiser to describe all these crafts. I feel that this term fits what I do on several levels. Though I do not consider myself French in the true sense of the word. I am Franco Ontarian. But that is another story. I use wood as my primary material to build the furniture that I design.This blog is about my process.

A W O L
I have been busy these days working on some new ideas around texting as a language.
After some research I found out that it is really not new nor is it an easy thing to do (invent a new language as it were)
Texting or abbreviations go way back to the war era and even further M I A (missing in action) R I P (Rest in Peace) AWOL (Absent Without Leave)
My work is about the use of language as much as it is in a way a record of how people use language. People often say that texting is breaking down language but it is I feel making language stronger.
I have settled in to my new shop and really enjoy going to work there; I have started to produce Frames and painting panels for some of Guelph’s local artist.
