An entrant in Castlegar's 2012 Sculpture Walk,
Soaring is now displayed to the side of the
Live Art Shop on Front Street in Kaslo. As is sometimes the case with works from Castlegar's Sculpture Walks, this piece may have been leased by the shop, or it may have been bought by them. Either way, it's a beautiful piece. We saw it in 2012 in Castlegar and were quite surprised when we found it again in Kaslo.
The Artist & the Work
'Soaring'
Soapstone Sculpture
8' x 3' x 2'
Soaring is an Eagle in flight. Carved from soapstone located in the Kootenay mountains in British Columbia.
Spring Shine lives in Argenta B.C. He is a sculptor of wood and stone.
Spring discovered soapstone near his home in the beautiful Kootenay mountains of southern British Columbia.
"There is something special about stone, it appears so solid, permanent and unyielding. When I transfer an idea, a thought, into a rock I really feel thrilled, like anything is possible."
"I feel so free and limitless when I’m carving. I know the joy I experience is expressed in each sculpture I create."
