"SALT PLAIN" PHOTOGRAPHS BY PAULI-ANN CARRIERE














































Provide has just installed this striking series of photographs by Pauli-Ann Carriere.

Pauli-Anne Carriere's photography is drawn from the world at large. Transitory encounters with people, places, colour, texture and light, veiled or interpreted in the abstract, features prominently in her images. Carriere's work reflects her intrigue of the missing detail of obscured scenario, which more often elicits questions than answers, adds a heightened level of interest and greater sense of emotional resonance to the subject matter.

Carriere's current series "Salt Plain" is a bold expression of colour, texture, line and form captured near Walvis Bay, Nambia, April 2012.

CHRISTIAN WOO AS SEEN BY PHOTOGRAPHER JANIS NICOLAY
































Since its debut this past spring at Provide, Christian Woo's new furniture collection has received a tremendous amount of media attention – including a fantastic profile in the new issue of Canadian House and Home. This is well deserved for one of Canada's most talented designers who's work is minimal yet always warm and inviting. Another great Canadian talent is photographer Janis Nicolay who shot Christian's profile piece for House and Home (these images are out-takes from the shoot) – Janis's keen eye and artistry never ceases to amaze (check out her blog Pinecone Camp to view her beautiful photography). Provide is very please to represent exclusively Christian Woo's furniture collection and have the inside scope on some exciting new pieces that are currently in development. Look for news on that in the coming months.
