The "Canadian Beaver" sculpture, meticulously carved from Canadian fossil limestone, showcases the artist's profound connection to the natural world. The rich, earthy tones of the limestone capture the essence of the beaver, a symbol of industriousness and resilience in Canadian culture. Measuring 19" x 11" x 12.5" and weighing 90 pounds, this piece combines substantial physical presence with intricate detail. The artist skillfully renders the beaver’s textured fur and characteristic features, bringing the creature to life atop a smoothly polished log. This juxtaposition of textures highlights the artist’s adept use of the stone’s natural qualities. Created in Whistler, BC, the sculpture stands as a testament to the region’s rich artistic heritage and natural beauty. Similar to other pieces in the gallery, such as the "Pacific Spirit Bear," this work invites viewers to reflect on the harmony between wildlife and the rugged Canadian landscape.
