Welcome to the fourteenth Annual Peace Arch Park International Sculpture Exhibition

1) FF4 - We dedicate this sculpture to the Universal Archetype of Water. The message we seek to bring to those who come to contemplate the fountain is that of deep value and intentional honoring of this very vital and most precious element and resource. We bring the Fountain as an Eternal symbol of Life; water brings as well as a symbol of the collective unconscious and its swirling rebirth and emergence. Stainless Steel, Water, River Rock. David Kitts, Kristina Kokonis, Bellingham, WA. Sale price $5,000.
The swirling compression of the gases of the galaxy, bombarded by comets and asteroids, provided the base for organic life to flourish on Earth, and brought mineral and ore for mankind to manipulate.
Now nature has birthed the iron tree with its stone fruit, a tree whose resources are not so easily plundered, not so easily consumed.
Steel, River Rock. John Wooten IV, Seattle, WA. Sale price $12,000.
3) The Earth is Our Mother - I made this sculpture when my first grandchild was conceived.
It is a visual metaphor of the fact that we are all made from the very essence of the Earth’s elements and are completely dependent on her for existence and nurturance.
Her beauty and music lulls us to rest and peace; she is our mother in every way.
Cast Aluminum. Cordelia Bradburn, Leavenworth, WA. Sale price $3,500.
Throughout history man has erected monuments to kings.

This is my monument for them. Long live the King!
Stainless Steel, Mild Steel & River Rock. Joe Powers, Snohomish, WA. Sale price $3,500.

6) Breaking Wave
The “Breaking Wave” sculpture presented will be a model of the much larger Breaking Wave sculpture planned for the Burning Man festival this September in Nevada.
The intent is to draw attention to the problem of ocean pollution by making a sculpture of the wood waste cast off by the west coast lumber industry.
In the final sculpture in Nevada some Tsunami debris will be included as a homage and remembrance of the Japanese lives lost in the recent Tsunami.
Reclaimed Lumber. Kevin Curry, Vancouver, BC. Sale price $7,000.
The assemblage is a reference to the well known “American Gothic” painting of two people and a pitchfork.
However, the pitchfork has been replaced with a spaghetti fork and the two lean male and female figures are now a jolly corpulent couple in brilliant colors.
“The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie.” (Agnes de Mille) Two ornamental lacy curtains, curled around each other in a sensual tango.
The metal was made into elaborate filigree, transparent and delicate like two meters of iron tulle dancing in the wind.
Wrought iron. Miran Elbakya, Delta, BC. Sale price $5,500.
Perseus questions the relationship between heaven and earth; it is always dynamic, and occasionally strained. Man has at many points tried to bring the two closer together, and this piece is a reference to that relationship.
The legs nod to the tower of Babel, and the pendulum is symbolic of the man-made construct of time, which is infinite but still artificial, an allegory of our attempts to grasp heaven.
Steel, Rock, Solar panels, LEDs, Mirror. Miguel Edwards, Seattle, WA. Sale price $22,000.
