Paul Balcaen

Growing up on a dairy farm near La Broquerie, Manitoba, I lived everyday with nature and saw the local, beautiful scenery which inspired me. I’ve been doing art since I was a teenager, exploring every medium from Black and White photography, screen printing, wood carving and woodworking. Later, I studied Design in Toronto and recently worked as a museum exhibit designer. During the last year, I’ve been experimenting with laser cut Birch Plywood and Red Oak mini landscape sculptures, each of my own design. I make, hand finish and assemble them in my studio here in Winnipeg.

The C2 Centre for Craft  is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
