Caleb Witvoet

Caleb Witvoet (b. 1997, Calgary, AB) works with grain toward flow. He doubts if it’s possible to know the tree by its wood and yet believes that the board is what frames their relationship. As artist, researcher, craft vandal, amateur sk8er, and renovator: Caleb makes a joinery of narrative connections by preparing material moreso than fixed objects. That doesn’t mean he won’t build to an end. In his handcraft as well as skateboarding, the work is in the practice. It’s a mode of being together for a time—with someone, something, or someplace—having a common arc that embraces both the meeting and parting.
