MosaiCanada150-2

To creates these living sculptures small feats of amazing garden and mechanical engineering need to be performed, lay out of the metal frames, covering them with mesh understructure to support the moss and earth needed to grow the designs each sculpture with an embedded irrigation system that forms an underlying network of drinking tubes for the plants.

 

We continue on our visit of the works presented in MosaïCanada 150 by traveling from the last East Coast display to one from the West Coast capturing the spirit of the West Coast First Nations artwork, here is a Haida Black Fish or as the less indigenous call them killer whales.

 

Killer whales are considered guardians of the village as well as a revered medicine animal in the Pacific First Nations symbolizing power and strength sighting one is considered a potent omen some tribes also believe that hunters lost to the sea return as a “Black Fish” and become protectors of mankind.

 

I took this on Aug 10, 2017 with my D750 and Nikon 16-35mm f4 Lens at 23mm 1/40 sec f/16 ISO100 processed in LR, PS +Lumenzia, Topaz , and DXO
