Conflict

July 7, 2016

Conflict
Fresh out of the studio, another piece by Peter McFarlane. You may remember that among other artistic endeavours, Peter creates sculptures from repurposed materials. And sometimes his work makes a statement of the conflict between wild animals and man.

Coincidently, while picking up his work today he mentioned his ongoing battle involving the deer who somehow continue to find their way past his defences to happily forage in his garden… sounds like Salt Spring Island.

Recycle

February 4, 2016

Peter McFarlane headress from lawnmower

We’ve seen a number of original pieces created by local artists here on the site. Today I was working with some of Peter McFarlane’s newest sculptures made using reclaimed metals. There were a couple of Narwhals that I thought were pretty clever but this was today’s favourite.

It’s big. Very big. And very heavy. And I can’t think of a better reuse of mower blades.

Sean Goddard’s Insects

Sean Goddard's Insects

Busy day yesterday, a morning photoshoot on location for an upcoming video.
And back in the studio for an afternoon tangling with Sean’s creative insects. Salt Spring artists are constantly extending their ideas, and Sean is no exception. In the bonus photo below you can see an additional detail of the side of one insect. That tiny stainless handle is the crank for a hidden music box…

Circuit Board Horses

November 2, 2015

I enjoyed working with a group of wild horses this week.

This is a five foot wide commissioned piece by local artist Peter McFarlane. It needed to be shown as it might appear displayed on a wall. The piece includes a wooden cleat to help it lie flat and away from the wall. An interesting shadow is created when properly lit. This implies motion I think, and adds visual interest.

Like all of Peter’s pieces, this one is built from reused/recycled material. The circuit boards are lit so that the colour are true and the solder is alive but not shining.

I look forward to more photographic challenges like this—in the home-based studio space. During the long, dark, temperate rainforest winter. :-)
