Robin Cargill · Multi-Dimensional Artist

Little Box Turtle

Things made by hand.
Stories held close.

Robin Cargill makes objects with spirit: moccasins, dreamcatchers, jewellery, sculpture, crochet and one-of-a-kind pieces made from the things that find their way to her.

Little Box Turtle is Robin's maker's mark — a home for hand-made things, collected treasures and the stories that travel with them.

Art & commissions

Made for the strange and wonderful.

Robin is especially drawn to sculpture, puppets and costumes — work with a character, a story, or a little bit of magic in it.

Stories

Nothing here is only a thing.

Robin's own handwriting becomes the voice of the site: the history of a rock, a piece of artwork, a memory, or a person who carried something home.

About Robin

An artist with a good eye for what has a story in it.

Robin is a multidisciplinary artist whose work moves freely between moccasins, crochet, sculpture, jewellery, dreamcatchers, puppets, costumes and found materials.

Her creative process is intuitive and spontaneous. Ideas often begin with a material, a person, a place or an unexpected object and develop naturally from there. The result is handmade work that is imaginative, carefully crafted and often completely one of a kind.

Robin brings the same sense of curiosity and originality to everything she makes, combining skilled handwork with an instinct for colour, texture, form and story. Stones, shells, leather, fibre, beads and found treasures can all become part of something new.

Commissions are an important part of Robin’s work, giving her the opportunity to create pieces shaped specifically around the person, purpose and story behind them.

Based in Port Alberni, British Columbia.
