| The
idea of Log Book Park, developed from artist Glenn Greenside's deep
appreciation and concerns for our rich forest heritage here in British
Columbia.
People
are always amazed with big trees and we know that they are becoming
scarcer as time goes on. Glenn's latest concept is a way of
preserving and enhancing the presence of these trees through his art
Glenn will create a collection of 14 Giant Wooden Books, which will
depict the history of our West Coast Forests. Each log will be
first cut in half and then stood on end to represent the cover of each
opened book. Carved relief images and words will turn massive
laminated wood panels into the pages of these BC Forest History
Books. Each book will be protected with a wooden roof, designed to
symbolize the flowing canopy and branches of a tree.
This
collection is only Phase I of this exciting project that will develop
into a "Forestry
Theme Park" located in the
Squamish District. Some of the other attractions will include a 500 seat
outdoor amphitheatre that will host both, exhibitions and training
sessions for Loggers Sports, Native Dance, Mountain Biking, Rock
Climbing, Kayaking and more.... |
