  David Ambrose
Chairmaker

Windsor Chair

 Windsor Chair
Oak, Pine and Maple
44" X 26"

  David came to Canada as an emigrant from the Thames valley region of Southern England. His birthplace is thus coincidentally linked with the region in which Windsor chairs were first made some three hundred years ago. Although trained as a photographer, David has spent the last twenty-three years working with wood. His love of early Windsor chairs has led him to study the tools and techniques with which they were made and to learn the history of Windsor chair making in England and the New World. Coming full circle in a way, he now spends most of his working life making these famous chairs of his homeland in the unique style of the chair makers of New England and Upper Canada. Making them to the best of his ability to the standards of the Old World craftsmen, with the grace and elegance of design and outstanding engineering perfected by the New World artisans.

Being lost in my camera and lens is a magical experience that provides a powerful freedom and creative energy.  Photography brings me great joy and has been doing so since childhood.

The dichotomy of capturing life’s fluid experiences and emotions while stopping motion, freezing time has always struck me as intriguing. The still image inspires examination of a moment in time in a unique way.  It can reinvent how we see something, flood us with emotion, or evoke a memory so powerfully that we are overwhelmed.

I photograph from an intuitive place and I love my photographs to hold an essence of the layers of life – be it joy, humour, texture, sadness, light, movement, colour.  The spontaneity and depth of life around me is raw and beautiful and the moment of photographic capture can be complex or simple – but never boring!

Recently, I have begun to explore animals and wildlife in a new series of photographs.
