An artist, blacksmith, sculptor, interdisciplinary 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 and metal work 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.
