The Western Red Cedar used in this project originated from Haida Gwaii, having succumbed to one of the island’s notorious storms before making its way to our studio. At Brent Comber Originals, we are committed to sourcing our materials from local, sustainable sources, taking great pride in supporting the local community and economy.

Brent’s latest residential project sought to unite his original suspended, illuminated cording sculpture, ‘Connection’, – featured in Seattle’s REN building in 2021 – with his latest vision of blending intimacy, warmth, and scale.

“Learning to Be”, highlights 3 trees salvaged from the Urban Landscape, upended and slightly animated to create a sense of movement and raise the possibility that a plant can transform into something completely different.

We are only now beginning to learn about the intricacies of trees. Emerging evidence demonstrates that trees exhibit remarkable social, cognitive, and communicative abilities, operating as highly sophisticated, communal, and interdependent organisms within their own species.

These entities build their communities through information sharing, akin to the collective intelligence of an insect colony – a process that occurs at a pace imperceptible to the human senses.

They grow, however, very slowly with many species outliving our own. We marvel at the beauty of trees but by and large, take them for granted. This gave me the idea of animating these neglected orphans from residential properties into creatures of superior beings. By inverting the tree so the branches become legs, they are free to roam the exhibition making friends and otherworldly connections.
