Marianne Reim All Sculptures Terminus Number on Map 11 Artist Marianne Reim Material ¼ inch rolled steel Installation Date January 1, 2002 Learn About the Artist 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 wire, stone, text and miscellaneous findings. By cutting, burning and welding, experience, memory and emotion are melded into steel. More Photos Previous Next

Carolanne MacLean All Sculptures Double Take Number on Map 40 Artist Carolanne MacLean Material Winterstone Installation Date October 1, 2022 Learn About the Artist This piece is a rendition of a female figure in green Winterstone; a torso with arms outstretched as the woman turns to look back. My interest is in the fundamental gesture of the figure as I try to create a rhythmic flow through the form and capture a moment in time and the fullness of the female body. Winterstone is a dry powder mix which when mixed with water produces a clay-like consistency. Initially it can be modeled easily like clay. As it starts to harden it can be carved with soft carving tools. After 24 hours it can be carved with hard carving tools. More Photos Previous Next

Susan Low-Beer All Sculptures Curled Figures Number on Map 08 Artist Susan Low-Beer Material Cement Installation Date October 1, 2003 Learn About the Artist These sculptures have been made from the same mold; the surface of each one will be altered to create the feeling of uniqueness. Although these sculptures are essentially the same, their gestures and consequently their emotional content changes with each altered position. More Photos Previous Next

Andrew Rothfischer All Sculptures Lissome 5 Number on Map 17 Artist Andrew Rothfischer Material Polished Concrete, Fused Glass Installation Date June 1, 2014 Learn About the Artist Lissome is intended to show the curvilinear form that is often repeated everywhere. People see it in the grass blowing in the wind, the line of the spine in the human body and even in the highways that form the overpasses arcing overhead. Using cement to make the curved shape and Kiln formed glass or recycled float glass to accent said curves Andy has created the Lissome series. The light filters differently through the glass chosen to give a different look throughout the day as well as throughout the seasons. More Photos Previous Next

Created by students of the Integrated Arts Program at Innisdale Secondary School in Barrie, Ontario All Sculptures I see a wish Number on Map 37 Artist Created by students of the Integrated Arts Program at Innisdale Secondary School in Barrie, Ontario Material Powder Coated Steel Installation Date November 1, 2020 Learn About the Artist In 2015, the students in the Innisdale Integrated Arts Program produced a multi-media arts presentation (poetry, music, dance, paintings and sculpture) for the new Cancer Treatment Centre at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Barrie. One piece was a sculpture of a dandelion gone to seed with one of the parachutes (wishes) about to take flight. A teacher in Collingwood, Deb Shackell, who was familiar with Haliburton Sculpture Forest was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and went to RVH for treatments and saw the sculpture. The dandelion and the saying “Some see a weed; I see a wish” has long been her personal coda – and seeing this sculpture gave her great hope and inspiration. She got in contact with the Sculpture Forest curator and said that she would like to raise the money to get a similar sculpture for the Sculpture Forest. The program coordinators at Innisdale said that they would be interested in having the class of 2019-2020 create a new sculpture for the Sculpture Forest (using the ideas and inspirations of the current students). Deb and the Sculpture Forest curator met with the students a couple of times; there was lots of back and forth on the design. Meanwhile, after a year of treatment, Deb was cancer free and she mounted a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe as well as produced and sold art cards with inspirational photography. The Sculpture was going to be installed in the spring of 2020 but COVID-19 got in the way. All the pieces of the sculpture had been created – it just needed to be brought to Haliburton and installed. The four teachers from Innisdale arranged to bring the pieces of the sculpture to Haliburton in November 2020 where it was assembled and installed. More Photos Previous Next

Scott McKay All Sculptures Forest Screen Bench Number on Map E Artist Scott McKay Material Corten Steel Installation Date January 1, 2020 Learn About the Artist Wendy Wilkins, the patron who purchased Mother Earth and commissioned the Sun Bench to accompany it, thought it would be lovely to add a couple more Scott McKay one-of-a-kind benches to create Mother Earth’s living room where a whole family or group of friends could gather. So, she worked with the Sculpture Forest to commission two new nature inspired benches - Forest Screen Bench and Fire Bench - to complete the set and create Mother Earth's living room. In 2018 the Haliburton Sculpture Forest teamed up with the Haliburton Village BIA (business Improvement Area) to create the Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition. This featured the display of six sculptures on the main street from Ontario artists from June to October. McKay’s Mother Earth was one of them. Mother Earth is McKay’s vision of the classical mother figure who is one with the tree of life. More Photos Previous Next

Gord Peteran All Sculptures Passage Number on Map 38 Artist Gord Peteran Material Red Cedar Installation Date June 16, 2021 Learn About the Artist My artwork is fuelled by the historical decorative arts.Unlike most artists I’m not looking for “new”, but rather the very, very old.I’m interested in testing the boundaries of what we know and trust. Disrupting the iconography of culture slightly, either by altering their context or proximity, can destabilize assumptions and suggest ideas that seem both correct and wrong in the same moment. Doorways are thresholds of our buildings, and also represent the threshold of our anxieties. Two doorway openings placed apart to imply a room, stand as both sentinels and facilitators of flow and passage. A dining table, . . . with oars, placed between these frames suggests both the safe space of home and references to this rural location. A table implies gathering, and in many ways represents the core of the family. Are there directional implications to a dining table? Is it in any way mobile? Who propels the ideas discussed at dinner? Can they stagnate or change course? The emblems and events of summer at a lake cannot be underestimated. They become imbedded in our psyche for life. Perhaps because they are filled with moments of joy, of discovery, learning, curiosity and camaraderie, . . . (the conditions necessary for creativity). The new conditions our world now faces provide potential opportunities. This artwork’s references are vast, from global warming and migratory populations, to the intimate summer ponderings of a child. The swinging doors once hanging from the doorframes have long since disappeared with only vague remnants of each left visible. Visitors can freely pass into, through, and out of this scene, setting in motion their own transformative art moment. More Photos Previous Next

Marianne Reim All Sculptures Das Buch XXIII Number on Map 34 Artist Marianne Reim Material Steel, Chain Mail Installation Date January 1, 2019 Learn About the Artist Since 1994, Marianne Reim has been working on a series of books (DAS BUCH) cut from steel. They currently number 70. The books are personal interpretations of her history within a larger cultural history. These books contain steel pages, which can be turned and read, and they are bound. The antitheses of paperbacks, these books are constructed through a process of cutting, burning, and welding into the sheets of steel. In this manner, Marianne is able to inscribe a universal language through form and line. The content of the books emerges from memories. For example, DAS BUCH 10 was inspired by a visit to the Berlin Wall. DAS BUCH 18 contains a diary-like entry, another one in Latin reflects Marianne’s interest in the universality of language. 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. More Photos Previous Next

2023 < All Sculptures 2023 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition Contact Artist for Pricing Abstract 7 Elise Muller Abstract 7 Carrara Marble Abstract #7 is carved from Carrara Marble and depicts a continuous line that is twisted and intertwined. There is no beginning and no end to this sculpture, much like a Mobius strip. This is the seventh abstract sculpture that I have completed inspired by the endless variations on that theme. This sculpture was in front of the Elora Centre for the Arts last year as part of the Elora Sculpture Project. Elise Muller Elise Muller’s granite sculpture "Attunement" won the 2018/19 Canadian Sculpture Competition at Kingsbrae Garden in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. Elise has been sculpting stone since 2001 when she took her first of many courses at Haliburton School of Art + Design. Elise carves stylized figures in a variety of stone like limestone, granite, and marble. She enjoys the whole process of stone sculpting from picking the stone to chiseling, to seeing the figures emerge, to filing, to polishing. In 2016 Elise carved the limestone sculpture of a family that is in front of the Dorset Community Health Hub. Three of her sculptures have been on public display in Elora and Fergus as part of the Elora Sculpture Project from 2016-2018. Elise was part of the Haliburton Downtown Sculpture Exhibition in 2019 with her limestone “Dancers” and pleased to return in 2023 with “Abstract #7 ”. Elise also teaches stone carving and is a part time faculty member of HSAD. Elise lives near Dorset and shares Stone Tree Studio with her partner, furniture maker Cirvan Hamilton.

2023 < All Sculptures 2023 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition Contact Artist for Pricing Grow Together Eric Tardiff Grow Together Aluminium When we talk about cohabitation, I immediately think of social cohabitation, of living together in peace and respect for each other. We hope and desire the inclusion of different cultures and social classes in our society. That being said, the project that I propose to you here is intended to be unifying by its purpose and intriguing by its form. The sculpture suggests the inclusion of people around us for a better cohabitation starting with the Me and ending with Them It is an interactive sculpture where the visitor is invited to pose their figure in the last facial space, the ME. I chose to put the two official languages for a specific purpose of integrating the two host cultures. In addition, seen in profile, the sculpture also refers to a megaphone, symbolizing the desire to be heard. I think a lot of photos will be taken by visitors because of the interactive face concept.
