‘Avatar Old Growth Sky’ -2016, 45″x 45″
If you had “bug vision” you might see the forest like this…
Western Red Cedars and Douglas Fir trees, some as old as 800 years and 75 m (250 ft) in height, reach for the sky. Like the ancient Egyptians; they worship the Sun. They also manufacture oxygen and consume CO2 and now draw tens of thousands of Eco-tourist every year. Avatar Old Growth Forest is on Vancouver Island, on the Pacific side, near Port Renfrew.

‘Avatar Old Growth Wheels’-2016, 45″x 90″
Avatar Old Growth Forest is on Vancouver Island, on the Pacific side, near Port Renfrew. It’s a small patch that has escaped the chain saws. It’s hard to believe… but 9000 hectares (over 22,000 acres) of Old Growth Temperate RainForest is still cut, every year on Vancouver Island.
I can’t do justice to the beauty or primal vibe of this place, so I attempt to evoke, just a little of the mystery and symmetry of the place…

‘Deep Cove No Diving’-2016, 45″x45″
Deep Cove, on Vancouver Island is easy to get to and often overlooked.
It’s just a small village but has a great little port and marina. This sign is not a joke; it stands about 4 feet high at the end of this dock….
Further out; it’s Deeper!
