Artist Statement The specific forms of my work float on the surface of a well of memory. I create discreet objects, objects in series and installation. My preferred material is steel. In my constructions, the material wears its identity through rough-cut edges, visible welds and an undisguised slabness. I may combine them with glass, stone, text, and photographs. By cutting, burning and welding, experience and emotion are melded into steel. Artist Contact Information reim@bell.net www.mariannereim.com

Richard Shanks' sculpture includes a surveyor's tripod, incorporating symbols of time, direction and significant dates in Sir Sandford Fleming's life. Visionary: A Tribute to Sir Sandford Fleming Richard Shanks Materials: Steel and bronze Description: Surveyor's tripod incorporating symbols of time, direction and significant dates in Fleming's life. Installation Date: January, 2002 Number on Map: 7 Go to Gallery About the Sculpture: The sculpture “Visionary” commemorates the life of Sir Sandford Fleming and his contributions to Canada and the world. Born in 1827 in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, Sandford Fleming arrived in this region, travelling by way of Quebec City and Montreal to Kingston, and continuing by boat to what he described as " a nice healthy little town", Cobourg. The 18-year-old Sandford and his older brother, David, arrived in Peterborough by horse-drawn cart on June 17 1845, where Sandford made his home with Dr. and Mrs. John Hutchison. Sandford Fleming contributed much to this area. His drawings and maps accurately depict the Peterborough area as it was in the mid-1800s, and his copious diaries provide enlightening detail. In turn, the Peterborough community enriched his life - his wife Jeannie Hall, whom he married in 1855, was a Peterborough native, and the daughter of Peterborough's sheriff. Fleming was always searching for broader horizons and greater challenges. His keen intelligence and scientific and artistic ability involved him in many significant accomplishments that included the establishment of Universal Standard Time, which he recommended to the Royal Canadian Institute in 1879, and which was adopted universally in 1884, the design of a prototype of an in-line skate, which he tested and pronounced "altogether satisfactory", at the age of 21, the foundation of the Royal Canadian Institute in Toronto in 1849, the design of Canada's first adhesive postage stamp, the Threepenny Beaver, in 1851, appointment as Chief Engineer of the Northern Railway in 1855, the proposal for a coast to coast railway line spanning "British North America" in 1858, and advocacy of a submarine cable which would link all the nations of the British Empire by telegraph. Pacific Cable was finally completed in 1902. In 1968 the new Community College in Peterborough was named after Sir Sandford Fleming. This sculpture includes the elements of a surveyor’s transit, the compass, time, significant dates in Fleming’s life and the globe. < Back to Sculptures

2021 < All Sculptures 2021 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $2,800.00 Parallel Composition Éric Tardif https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2ClCnLQrbg Parallel Composition The idea of this sculpture came when I wanted to create a colorful 3D form inspired by an abstract painting, creating two layers of rectangle form, painting in different colors. The result is ludic, and lively, and stimulates the curiosity of the spectators. Éric Tardif Éric Tardif is from Kamouraska, a region in the Bas Saint-Laurent municipality in Quebec. Tardif originally studied Natural Sciences but turned to studying the arts and sculpture to explore his passion and artistic talent. In his work Tardif explores dimension, movement, and space. He works with several different materials and mediums in his work from wood, metal, and also has variety of mixed media 2D work as well. Tardif pushes the art world in both his concepts as well as his avant-garde method of steam-folding wood for his wood sculptures. This technique allows for his wooden sculptures to be full of movement and curved forms. He has received grants from CALQ (Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec) and SODEC (Société de développement des entreprises culturelles) for several years. In recent years, Éric has expanded his artwork into bronze sculpture and has returned to his multimedia work. For the past 5 years, Eric has been working and designing Public Art and expressive outdoor sculptures in aluminum. He has more than 100 exhibitions to his name around the world and his work can be found in 10 galleries across North America.

I imagined and created this sculpture this year as a response to current events. We all make choices, on how we will live our lives, every day. We choose whether to embrace the real, sometimes complicated parts of life or to drown ourselves in distraction; numb ourselves with the unreal.

William Lishman All Sculptures Kennisis: Horse and Rider Number on Map 19 Artist William Lishman Material Milled Steel Installation Date October 1, 2008 Learn About the Artist The theme of Expo 86 in Vancouver was transportation and communications. There were three plazas that focused on various forms of transportation; land, sea and air. My concept won the commission for the centerpiece sculpture for the Land Transportation plaza. My thoughts (inspired by Terry Fox and Steve Fonyo) were that muscle power has been the mainstay of our transportation in human history. Legs have carried humankind around the planet since our forbearers crawled from the sea, and who knows when we first started riding various animals. The horse more than any other animal has carried us for many millennia. The overall piece was comprised of many elements depicting the devolution of the wheel. It started at the bottom out of a traffic jam as if wheeled vehicles had been caught in some tornado-like blender, and were torn apart in an upward spiral of varying colours around a central cone to a height of 86 feet. The vehicle parts re-congealed into muscle powered transportation. A celebration of legs! Aside from the wheeled vehicles at the bottom, it was comprised of 55 figures which gradually diminished in size as they spiraled skyward giving the piece a forced perspective and making it appear much higher than its 86 feet. The horse sculpture was in the second step down in scale, just a bit smaller than life size. It represented the history of equestrian transportation depicting a North American aboriginal rider as one with the horse in mind and muscle. The segments that are welded together to make the sculpture are off cuts from a metal stamping plant that made parts for General Motors in Oshawa. The overall piece was entitled Transcending the Traffic. The sculpture was purchased by Janis Parker and donated to Fleming College which has provided the sculpture on permanent loan to the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. Janis chose the name Kennisis, the name of a racehorse owned by Gary Vasey and Don Finn, to honour the Vasey and Finn families. More Photos Previous Next

​Carolanne MacLean was born in Toronto in 1949. She is a graduate with honours of the Ontario College of Art in Fine Art and has a B.A. from the University of Toronto. Her large encaustic abstract works are a study in light, colour and texture, sometimes involving the figure, often nonrepresentational. Her City Souls paintings capture moments, passing expressions on the faces around us. She pursues the beauty of the figure through a regular sculpture practice. Artist's Statement: I feel I am working with energy, whether painting or sculpting. I am interested in the healing value of colour and the surprising beauty of the accidental mark, and intrigued by the very existence of our response to beauty.

2021 < All Sculptures 2021 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition Part of Sculpture Forest Collection Depth Don Frost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k12AcbJEso8 Depth I had a lot of fun making this piece during the COVID-19 lockdowns. It was a real escape from the world and just evolved into this primitive, organic shape. I live beside a bike trail and this piece brought in many people off the path to see what I was working on. The mount is also unusual for me, going up on a diagonal which gives the piece some extra movement. The finish is graphite, top coated in a prismatic gold to magenta paint. The piece is made from fiberglass, and composites and is designed to withstand weather extremely well. Don Frost “The act of being a sculptor and continually experiencing the creative challenges in this multidimensional world causes a thought process that spills over into all facets of life causing the world of the artist to become a work of art” Peterborough born Don Frost had his future path laid out for him by winning first prize in a city wide art exposition at age six in grade one. The following year at age seven, Don had a group showing at thePeterborough Public Library. Public school had its usual trials and tribulations and it was not until grade 10 that Don discovered that he was colour blind to all but the primary colours. At this point Don’s life took a right turn and sculpture was all that he focused on. Don teamed up with a friend in grade 11 who became his art agent and they enjoyed considerable success in the Peterborough area. Afterhigh school Don took some time off to do his art and apprentice as a mechanic for a year. In 1973-74 he attended Sheridan Art College followed by a decision to become a professional sculptor having just received a major commission for a large 15' tall sculpture for a new mall being built in Peterborough, Ontario. This was followed by the creation of the largest sculpture in Canada in 1983 by winning a competition for an indoor work for the Michael Starr Building in Oshawa, Ontario. Always seeking new outlets for art Don acquired an art agent in Ottawa which led to an introduction to a patron who kept Don busy creating more than 40 sculptures in a period of twenty years. Don’s work internationally was recently a commission for four large works for a garden in Club Medjulis in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Previously to this in an expansive design project by the late King Hussein for a 1.6 km wall of huge relief panels commemorating the history of Jordan, Don’s work on six of these panels was accepted by King Abdullah. Experiencing greater notoriety for the global uniqueness of his art, Don was presented with awards from Peterborough County and commemorated in the Walk of Fame. Presently Don has art representatives across the United States and Canada. Artist Contact Information donfrostsculptor.com don.frost@sympatico.ca 705-652-7200
