willow BOX
Design Concept for willow BOX |
The Gibson House site provides the opportunity to explore histories present and bring the work home by addressing the perimeters of the Oh Dear project.
Not only Ontario’s first land surveyor but also an early farmer and member of parliament, David Gibson opened the first district post office just north of the present day museum and gave it the name of ‘Willow Dale’ (after the abundance of willow trees in the area). This soon identified the town that emerged as well as give designation to the surrounding area.

The translated work is a homage to this early community and addresses the strong residing impact of place, neighbourhood and citizenry that engage our present day-to-day.
… a box is delivered as a device to evoke a sentiment, drawing upon narratives within a current diverse resident.
… letters\notes received offer exchange of residing histories with layerings of present-day thoughts and needs.
