Although I was born in Toronto, I haven’t found the place I want to be from quite yet, my location has been up in the air since I graduated college. I went to school for Industrial programming, a huge shift compared to the art I make now. I loved working with my hands when I was a kid, always taking things apart, learning how they work and putting them back together, or making something else entirely. Art was never on my mind back then, I just liked making cool, fun, or silly things out of other things. Clay, parts, or especially Lego were always in my hands at any given moment. After working for a few years, I craved change, something else, and I made the jump. I left my programming career behind and explored around Canada for several years, volunteering to extend my savings. I discovered wirework in late 2020, inspired by the memory of a short video i once saw on the internet many years ago. I dove right in with any copper wire I had. I made an awful looking tree out of 00 gauge wire and shortly after tried again with 24 gauge wire. it was a little better, and I have been refining my craft ever since. When I’m not ultra-focused on making a tree, I’m birdwatching with my partner, playing Factorio, rowing on my Erg, or dreaming about space elevators and Sci-Fi.
