About Burnt Sun Series- Dust Cloud Commission 2026

This contemporary wooden wall sculpture is handmade.

Rod Mireau created this wall sculpture from ash wood in a tondo form.
The Canadian artist is known for his superb woodworking techniques but in recent years he has begun to use other materials including fibreglass. The form strikes a ‘balance between the organic and the geometric’.
The wood is meticulously carved into stone-like pieces that highlight the wood’s natural grain, colour and texture. Fibreglass pieces in black add dynamic contrast to the earthy palette.
Mireau grew up in farm country—the Saskatchewan prairie. Early images of wheat fields, broken machinery and wooden farm buildings inspire the form and themes of his own sculptural work. One of a series.

(I create) “forms on the edge of recognition, forms that conjure a space between fact and fiction, past and present.” Rod Mireau
