An artist, blacksmith, sculptor, craftsperson and educator living in the Slocan Valley, Lashen Orendorff comes from a background rooted in noise, music and performance art, DIY punk, and experimental art-making. His explorations in sculpture began while studying in the Sculptural Metals program at Selkirk College in 2014. Throughout the creative process, Lashen finds himself intrigued by the materialities of steel; the texture, weight and feel beneath the hammer.
