Ancient Wisdoms by talented artist Kyle Thornley from Revelstoke, B.C. is a full time artistic and architectural blacksmithing since 2005. Through commissioned works, functional pieces, architectural metalwork, and exhibitions he is deeply committed to the practice. Kyle finds blacksmithing totally engaging with both intellectual and physical demands – visualizing a goal, establishing the creation process, and acting on that plan with a mind open to alterations and innovations in form.
Description: Conifer pines, with their ancient wisdoms, symbolize the cycles of life and suggest resilience and optimism. Even during hardship, their seeds lie protected, the patient cones waiting to unfurl until conditions are right for new life.
Ancient Wisdoms was selected as one of the winners in 2021.
