“Freyr” is a bust of the Norse God – bearer of peace, pleasures, and good weather. The impurities in the stone are incorporated effortlessly while the deliberately unfinished back provides great contrast. Freyr is impressive, subtly radiating strength and beauty. | Artist: Jade Ehrler & Neils Elris from Kootenay Bay, BC | Garden Sponsor: RHC Insurance | Photo: David R.

“Cruising Along” is a fun mobile self-portrait. Using scrounged and found materials, she has fashioned the artist taking a relaxing bike ride. The semi-abstract work features two metal hoops as wheels, and herself atop a crazily angled seat, freewheeling alongside some of her stylized houses, one hand clutching a bouquet – a nod to her Dutch heritage. | Artist: Rabi’a from Winlaw, BC | Gold Sponsor: Canada’s Best Value Inn & Suites | Photo: David R.

“Salmon Dance” showcases the artist’s proficiency and versatile creativity.

“Coalescence” is a woven rod structure – a framework deliberately unfilled. The bird at the end of the gloved, outstretched arm launching into flight is resplendently crafted in wild strands of metal. “This is me freeing myself from attachments,” says Dando. “My body fragments coalescing into something more powerful and liberating.” | Artist: Dave Dando from Nelson, BC | Gold Sponsor: Castlegar Sunrise 2000 Rotary Club | Photo: David R.

“Tsunami” is delightful – a testament to the artists creativity and skill. An amalgamation of two pieces, the two curving crescents and three petal-shaped oval strands one inside the other invite speculation. Is it the ebb and flow of a monster wave over the land? Regardless of the interpretation, the openness employed here is integral to the whole. | Artist: Don Francis from Delta, BC | Gold Sponsor: Heritage Credit Union & HG Insurance Agencies Ltd. | Photo: David R.

A colourful, mystical, layered mosaic, based on environmentally sustainable practices and functionality. The entire sculpture is made from 50-year old cedar repurposed.

The painstakingly crafted peak has been erected from hundreds upon hundreds of reclaimed cedar pieces topped with found Kootenay Lake stone. | Artist: Avery Turner from Castlegar, BC | Gold Sponsor: Dr. James Singer & Family | Photo: David R.

Featuring the stylized torso and head of a Goddess, the artists own take on the Roman God. Vertically accentuated, the narrow, limbless figure is serene in demeanour – conveying mystery and radiant beauty. The obvious two-faced image can be seen as a metaphor for double standards and how some present alternative ‘truths’. | Artist: David Hunwick from Victoria, BC | Platinum Sponsor: Dr. Bbandama Makwati & Dr. David Larocque & Family | Photo: David R.

“Interaction” features a meticulously fashioned, life-like owl.

The beauty of the owl, with feathers cascading down its breast, is an undeniably strong counterpoint to the objects it rests above. | Artist: Lynn Van Pelt from Nelson, BC | Titanium Sponsor: Childs Chanton Chartered Professional Accountants | Photo: David R.

"Alligator Pie" is a nod to Dennis Lee's classic poem and to the power of a child’s imagination. Both the alligator and pie are connections to childhood memories resurfacing later in life. His bronze is stealthy and ominous, patiently lying in wait. Every detail – hooded eyes, leathery skin and long snout – are meticulously sculpted, grounded to the Pie in stone. | Artist: Kent Laforme from Victoria, BC | Platinum Sponsor: Castlegar News/Black Press | Photo: David R.
