A Symphony For Flying Pigs

Designed for Henry and Beth, from a distance this fountain appears to be sitting in the middle of a field spouting water in all directions at will. In actual fact the fountain is situated in a farm pond that measures about one hundred feet by one hundred feet. Nearly a year ago we were invited down to Gabriola Island to discuss the commissioning of a fountain for this pond. I was just a tad overwhelmed but incredibly excited about the project. This was my first endeavour into the world of large fountain insulations. A few wheels turning and several horns spilling water joined by some wonderful blown glass by Barbara Sanderson and an array of water jets and here it is.

Cascading Fountain

Chilly, but elegant.

Sax Section

Some sculptures seem more comfortable than others in the snow. Cold, and not flowing, but still standing.

The Traveller

The Traveller: This sculpture was inspired by the telescope that you see mounted on the top of it. It’s not quite finished yet but I thought that I would take a photo and get a 2D look at it. Imagine the Traveller as a low tech 1890s musical robot in search of …. Who knows what? A band. Clumsy and somewhat noisy, he rattles along the dusty roads of southern Saskatchewan or perhaps he dodges the endless traffic of the Lions Gate Bridge.

And more winter..

This barn is situated right across the island highway from our home and studio. The owner painted it this past summer. The snow and a splash of colour make up a lovely landscape.

It's winter on the west coast

Ok, so it's winter at WaterWorks Gallery. We are wetcoasters, we can do winter....really!

Kinetic Vision

Kinetic Vision was commissioned by Sharon and Michael Sterling this past August. After a few inspiring telephone conversations with Michael we sorted out just what was needed to properly embellish their suburban garden. After completing the sculpture in early October my shop assistant John and I crated the sculpture up, and off it went to New York. I miss you………. It’s interesting how I am inspired by people that I have never met.
