Hamilton, Ontario
Roger creates with time in mind. Yet even though the clock can be a consistent element of his work, it’s often secondary to its creation. Whether it’s a curious timepiece or a unique assemblage, he thrives on working with an immeasurable array of findings from the tarnished and forgotten to the odd or intriguing. He is a devoted collector of usual and unusual objects with one thing in common, a history. The source of his inspiration lies in the hundreds of curiously labelled drawers and boxes brimming with artefacts of all description that line the shelves of his Hamilton studio. He orchestrates an arrangement from his myriad of treasures until the precise moment that it feels right. Then he quickly glues them all down so they can’t escape.
