FACETED BOWLS
Rough-hewn and elemental, these bowls retain the raw textures of their making—gouges, ridges, and asymmetries left by the chainsaw’s blade. Embracing imperfection, it merges functional form with sculptural presence, blending a dialogue between maker, material, and meaning.

Open House at Brent Comber Originals
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Open House. It was a special evening as Brent unveiled a new collection of work, each piece a reflection of his ongoing dialogue with nature, form, and material. The studio was filled with great conversation, curiosity, and connection. If you missed it, the gallery remains open throughout the summer – we’d love to welcome you in.
Shaped with a chainsaw, its form retains the bold, unapologetic marks of its making—gouges, ridges, and asymmetries that speak to both the power and spontaneity of the tool. It stands as a tactile dialogue between past and present, where modern design meets the primal act of carving, and becomes not just an art piece, but a story about material, tradition, and process.

Brent has recently been exploring the human form through pictures or ‘snapshots’ of people. To tap into the influence of what is behind our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors within a single moment in time.
These forms have the ability to make us feel – whether it’s happiness, sadness, nostalgia, or even fear. It can bring back a flood of memories, reminding us of simpler times, cherished moments or forgotten experiences.

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.
