Working in-between cultures, Braxton Garneau combines influences from classical and contemporary forms to consider cultural, social and historical implications. Focused on harvested and hand-processed materials including asphalt, raffia, cotton, linen, sugarcane pulp, bones and shells, his work investigates transformation through natural cycles and the inherent human tendency for adornment, costuming and masquerade. Connecting materials, customs and clothing, he explores the ability of the natural world, and the people in it, to adapt and transmute to the circumstances they find themselves in.

Braxton Garneau has exhibited work at Remai Modern, Canada; Efraín López, New York; and Art Gallery of Alberta, Canada, among others.
