HIGHLIGHTS OF MY TRIP TO THE WEST COAST

I just returned from one of my frequent trips to Vancouver and every time I visit there I find wonderful new examples of cedar used in different art forms.

The details are subtle but stunning. — Geoff Ross is inspired by Coastal First Nations art and creates wall panels that infuse representations of ancient designs with stained and chiselled cedar, copper and aluminum.

The gravity defying Calvin table from Sticks and Stones is a beautiful study in mixed materials. I love the placement of the knots on the edge of the table.
