I headed over to
Scout Magazine today to get a dose of new music and stumbled upon a video post about
Cargoh (a new etsy–esque social shopping site based right here in our backyard) featuring local artist
Indigo. Strangely enough I've never crossed paths with her work but am instantly drawn towards her found wooden box drawings which were originally exhibited during PRESENCE at
Catalog Gallery in December 2010. She mentions on her
blog that these found boxes are an "ongoing series of work which was born from the impulse to investigate history through the ephemera that remains. To search out the fragmented memories of strangers, find those that resonate most deeply with her own stories and experiences, and use both as a starting point to create something new." Although they are not for sale at her
Cargoh shop I am hoping they will eventually show up somewhere in a solo exhibit or online. So good. (Check out the video (embedded below) the folks at
Cargoh and Gastown’s own
Catalog Creative produced featuring her work).

Jan -- Her work is so moving! I'm especially attracted to "A collector of small stones and other precious things" piece. Thanks for sharing!
Hey Poppytalkers,
Thanks so much for the post! We really appreciate it!
High Fives!
I really love these! The illustrations remind me a little of David Bromley, an Australian artist. Now to check out the links.
Such a beautiful idea.
these are so lovely. there is something a little melancholy about those works, perhaps a combination of the warmth of the wood and the fluidity of the linework. gorgeous, thanks for sharing.
