Design implies application of creativity, invention, innovation, production, craft and skills associated with tools and materials. Design is about function and communication. The history of BC’s design reflects the diverse cultures, needs and spirits of the province’s places and people. The works within this exhibit are both well known and obscure; some are award winning designs others are vernacular-folk design. Included are objects created by aboriginal people, early immigrants and more recent newcomers. Both academically schooled designers and self-taught designers are represented. Some works celebrate regional images and natural materials; other designs use exotic materials.
Made in BC is co-curated by Sam Carter, Professor Emeritus,
Emily Carr University of Art + Design and Patrick Gunn, Designer.
