social experiment

description

As part of a community projects course, our class was given the opportunity to connect with the residents of the Dr. Peter Center in downtown Vancouver.  Our goal was to work closely with the center to generate artwork, which may be extremely sensitive in nature, and do so in an extremely ethical manner.

In response I grew close with a group of men who sat and played clib together.  I had grown up playing with my grandparents, just as many of them had.  We shared stories laughed, and ultimately I lost our games, but gained a very rich experience.  As an offering I crafted them a custom crib board from black walnut, which was sourced from my property in Ontario.
