Harold Sikkema creates digital tapestries with diverse tactile media and software tools, finding communicative potential in weaving together painting, sculptural arrangement, photography, and collage. Though often theologically rooted, his pieces also engage in a playful, poetic aesthetic. He is encouraged by the Christian story of redemption to bring about a cohesive, unified remix of our fallen world's textures within narratives of hope. Each story aims to reconcile some tension between local and global, content and context, organic and synthetic. By walking whimsically within the themes of language, time, growth, and resurrection, his layered images uphold the gravity of spiritual reflection even as they comically engage in a child's game of I-spy.

Sikkema lives in Hamilton, Ontario, where he applies the philosophy "think globally, live locally" to his freelance web and graphic design work. Dig deeper at www.nsitu.ca.
