Antler and Ash is the work of Georgia Dixon, an Environmental Biologist and mixed media artist based in British Columbia, Canada. Using bone and antler as a canvas, she commemorates the natural past through one-of-a-kind mosaics and crib boards.

Growing up in the countryside of southwestern Alberta, I spent much of my childhood wandering the Foothills, collecting bones and antlers along the way. Discovering the remains of once-abundant bison fascinated me, sparking a deep connection to natural materials and the stories they carry. Through my art, I aim to honor the wildlife that roamed — and continue to roam — our natural world.

Initially drawing on inspiration from the indigenous Huicholes of western Mexico, I began embellishing my bone collection with beads. As my work evolved to include larger skulls, I embraced a more eclectic mix of stained glass, natural stone, and vintage elements. The crib boards were born from the simple realization that all moose antlers naturally stand on three points, creating the perfect foundation for functional art.

In addition to foraging, I ethically source materials from hunters and ranchers who might otherwise leave skulls and antlers behind. Through this practice, I hope to breathe new life into these relics of nature.
