Noah Ocran-Caesar is a Toronto-based artist whose creations are just as compelling as he is. Whether it\u2019s a lamp made to resemble the Fibonacci Hand or a clock crafted from a reclaimed shipping container door, each unique piece is sure to spark up a conversation. \u201cI try to create art for living\u201d said Noah when asked about his process.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cMy focus is sculpture and design work such as lamps or other household items. However, I like to explore creativity in many forms whether it be interactive installation or photography, music etc.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Noah\u2019s opinions on diversity, inclusion, and community are beliefs he tries to reflect in his work whenever possible. For example, his human hamster wheel creation designed to explore how bias is a part of our physical reality, captures these thoughts quite well. In terms of his creative story, he encapsulates it in one sentence: \u201cstruggle, expression, politics, success, fear, failure, and of course, dreams.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Digital<\/p>\n

As Noah sees it, being an artist is a privilege at the end of the day; Art should be taken seriously, used to challenge people in practice and thought, without prompting artists to take themselves too seriously in the process.\u00a0 \u201cI think art should compel, instigate and sometimes just be enjoyed for its mundane appeal\u201d he says. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a creator, Noah knew that putting his ideas into practice would take a strong infrastructure, and so his exercises in art evolved to become a business. For artists, business registration can help to offset the cost of materials and experimentation, even if art for art's sake was Noah\u2019s primary goal. He found the ShopHERE Powered By Google Program through a fellow artist and friend who recommended the initiative to help him expand his client base. Selling to clients he may not have had otherwise was one opportunity he considered to be of utmost importance, and found that Shopify\u2019s simple and easy to navigate design improved ease online for him as well. Not only does his new website give him the opportunity to tell the stories associated with each of his ten featured pieces, he can now do it with ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Noah\u2019s feedback was frequently directed at the connections he made during the process, mentioning that his ShopHERE helper was professional, personable, and knowledgeable, and that \u201cit felt like he was talking to a person, not just the employee of a company\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Now that Noah\u2019s art and stories are showcased online, he can continue to connect with fellow art enthusiasts. It\u2019s important now more than ever to support small and local businesses, so if you or someone you know is interested in getting started, check out the ShopHERE program<\/a> for more information. Also, be sure to check out Noah\u2019s store sur ce site<\/a>, and share in his passion and craft.<\/p>\n
