The Manitoba Craft Council is pleased to present Spikes, Holes and Other Things, a solo exhibition of new work by Keith Oliver, curated by Helen Delacretaz.

“Keith Oliver’s Spikes, Holes and Other Things truly epitomizes MCC’s aspirations for contemporary craft: a synthesis of sensuous materials, technical mastery, exceptional functionality, and a singular aesthetic. The artist’s signature is craft’s thumbprint – the unique ability to connect body, mind and heart, creating objects that are both human and humane.” – Tammy Sutherland, Director of the MCC

Keith Oliver’s furniture has been influenced in part by the shape and patterns found in nature. The layering of texture and play of colour contrast with the basic utilitarian demands of furniture design through his 30+ year career in furniture design.
