WATERMARK

The cedar used to create “Watermark” was found on the beach at Esquimalt lagoon. The piece has not been cut and is more or less the same shape and size as when it was found. As is evident from the direction of the grain, the more rounded edge and the underside formed the outside of the base of a large tree, at the point where the trunk spreads and “fingers “ form. Although Some 400 rings can be counted, the total age of the tree in unknown as the piece does not include the centre of the trunk. The overall shapes of the piece, together with the flow of the grain, give the feeling of fluidity and motion. The stone, from the beach at Sooke, accentuates this feeling and completes the trilogy of the elements present. Those of wood, steel and stone.
