BIOGRAPHY
Based in Canada, Pooja Pawaskar is the Indian-born artist behind Whirl & Whittle. Crafting wooden and ceramic pieces which celebrate the inherent beauty in each object’s peculiarities, Pooja chooses to embrace blemish in her works and herself in a world which relies heavily on flawlessness and statics. Her work is grounded in the belief that the world around us and the things within it are unique rather than imperfect.

I create a handmade wooden sculpture that shares the story of wabi-sabi, beauty in imperfection, and impermanence. The pieces are created for those who appreciate humble luxury.
