| This collection of
31 wood sculptures was created from some of the most remarkable dead standing trees to be found
in the province of British Columbia. Because of the rarity of these
giant old growth trees, I have named the collection "Tribute To
The Forest".
Serving as points of interest along the 30 minute interpretive walk, my towering collection symbolizes the feeling of being within an old growth forest The themes reflect the diversity and importance of our forests to humans as well as nature. I have intentionally focused on the positive roles humans play in our forest ecosystems, since I feel, this is often overlooked. Grouse Mountain's president, Stuart McLaughlin and myself are happy with our unique contribution towards British Columbia's rich forest heritage. We hope people will appreciate the valuable use we have found for these amazing trees which have been preserved through my art. I dedicate this collection to our sponsors and the people of British Columbia. |
