2025 < All Sculptures 2025 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $1800.00 Soul of A Boy Carole Chaloupka Burton Soul of a Boy This work is part of the "Fragile Masculinity" series, inspired by men and boys who struggle to find acceptance for the more vulnerable parts of their natures in a world that often doesn’t make space for the softer incarnations of masculinity. In particular, this work is an art-based response to the loss of the artist’s younger brother, and the manifestation of her compassion and concern for the men and boys who feel pressured to abandon the more tender sides of their natures in order to conform. Sculpted in water-based clay, a mold was then made to cast subsequent limited editions. Carole Chaloupka Burton Carole received her Master of Fine Arts at Toronto’s OCAD University and her BA (Hons) at Sunderland University in her native North East England. Carole specializes in evocative portraiture and figurative sculpture that captures fleeting moments of inner reflection that are both deeply private, and vastly universal. Her sensitive expressive work explores the embodied experience of having memories, thoughts, emotions and intuition contained within our bodies, and seeks to give form to these invisible and difficult-to-articulate feelings and sensations. Themes within Carole’s work include vulnerability, meaning-making and our achingly bittersweet knowledge of the impermanence of embodied mortal life.

2023 < All Sculptures 2023 Downtown Haliburton Sculpture Exhibition $1,800.00 Innocence Carolanne MacLean Innocence In the thoughtful pose of this piece, I am trying to capture the contemplative state of a young woman, loosely capturing the energy. Carolanne MacLean 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. 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.

Ariel uses several forging processes that combine in the simplistic form of a heron about to take fight. Mark Puigmarti What seems like lifetimes ago I was refrigeration and HVAC mechanic. Working on commercial industrial gizmos that kept things or people warm or cold, while usually experiencing the polar opposite temperature of whatever it was I was trying to rectify. It is a respectable trade that many men and some women make a respectable living at. However, as much as I tried to make the piping arrangements visually pleasing, orderly, and followable there was something lacking. It just never quite clicked with my persistent dream to follow a more artistic path. One day about half way into a 25-year run at HVACR, I made it my mission to try and change what seemed truly unchangeable. Slowly with a long list of coincidences, happy accidents and a load of sacrifices, particularly by my supportive wife Chris, positive results started to accumulate in the intended direction of working with hot metal. This did indeed take 10 years of incremental progression to end up at the beginning of a new and completely unrecognizable life and style. It is not lost on me to grasp the sheer improbability to do that mid-career, in that career, or any for that matter. That cord was cut 14 years ago now."

Seated with extended toes, as if testing the water, she acts as a romanticized steward of this source of life. Her inspiration came from concerns for the fragility of nature and years of volunteer work spent as a safe-water advocate. Donna Mayne Much of Donna's art career was spent as an Art Director, leading teams of artists in the planning, creation and installation of a series of large-scale public art projects comprising of more than 40 mural sites. All were site-specific; delivered on time and under budget. Donna is comfortable in collaborative environments that involve various levels of government, as well as local business groups and private collectors. Donna's classical training made the transition from muralist to sculpting an exhilarating one. She began her new enterprise, "Fine Sculpture," in 2013 and began exhibiting in international competitions in 2015 with her first two pieces being awarded. Donna has her Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) from the University of Windsor and studied Figure Drawing and Commercial Art at the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan.

Youkie Stagg < Back Originally Published On: January 1, 2016 Originally Published By: Haliburton Echo Visionary: A Tribute to Sir Sanford Fleming Written By: Youkie Stagg Sir Sandford Fleming was born in 1827 in Scotland but later moved to Peterborough in 1845 with his older brother. Fleming made several major contributions to the Peterborough community as well as the rest of the world. His most notable achievement was the establishment of Universal Standard Time which he recommended to the Royal Canadian Institute in 1879 and was adopted universally in 1884. His other achievements include: his design of a prototype of in-line skates, the Foundation of the Royal Canadian Institute in Toronto, the Threepenny Beaver – Canada’s first adhesive postage stamp, a proposal for a railway line spanning “British North America,” a submarine cable that would connect all the nations of the British Empire by telegraph, appointed as Chief Engineer of the Northern Railway, and knighthood by Queen Victoria in 1897. This sculpture includes the elements of a surveyor’s transit, compass, a clock representing time, significant dates in Fleming’s life, and the globe. The Sculpture Forest offers free guided tours each Tuesday from 10-11:30 am and a shorter “Curator Selection” tour on Wednesday from 12:10 – 12:50. Meet at the kiosk in the Fleming College parking lot. < Previous Article Next Article >

Sam Gillett < Back Originally Published On: August 1, 2022 Originally Published By: The Highlander Gord Peteran debuts new work at Haliburton Sculpture Forest Written By: Sam Gillett The Haliburton Sculpture Forest’s newest addition was installed last spring, but won’t be finished for about 30 years. At a ribbon-cutting and artist talk July 26, sculptor Gord Peteran said his wooden constructions, which make up Passage, are designed to merge with the forest that surrounds them. “These works are out of my hands. It’s your obligation to finish them,” he said, referring both to the physical decay of the wooden creations, but also to the way visitors will interpret the enigmatic sculpture, installed in the spring of 2021. A set of oars are affixed to a high wooden table. On each side of the table, two wooden door frames book-end the work, which is nestled in a small glade of trees. “Tables represent gathering … the dining table is the core of the family,” Peteran said. The artist, also responsible for crafting the iconic red doors at the Haliburton School of Art + Design (HSAD), said he delights in challenging how people view objects. The oars, for instance, could infer the table could be in motion. “Is a table kind of like a vessel?” Peteran asked. Passage, like most of Peteran’s work, is about humans; how and why we build and use objects. “I look at historical craft as evidence of human behaviour,” he said, later at a talk in the great hall of the HSAD. It’s a study, he said, of “what does the human tend to do?” Perhaps it’s a form of art that emerged from his childhood on Mountain Lake. “What I do comes right out of that lake,” Peteran mused. He said at lakes and cottages “something happens in the mind. The brain has a chance to explode.” Whether his grandmother’s rolling pin or carving tools gathered from settler’s tree clearing operations in the north, Peteran grew fascinated with the objects people build. He’s spent years constructing iconic halfmoon end tables, exploiting their shape and forming them with odds and ends from his workshop, or even driftwood and twine. “They’re basically junk,” he said. Peteran seemed bemused by how the shapes could resonate with people even if the tables weren’t functional. Our perception of common household fixtures change, he said, if he “takes the familiar and intervenes in some tiny way.” Peteran’s sculpture was funded by Barb Bolin, a chair of the sculpture forest. “Every sculpture brings its own story to the sculpture forest, and connects with other stories and sculptures in such intriguing ways,” said board member Annette Blady Van Mil. “We want to thank you, Gord, for making the stories continue.” For more information on the Haliburton Sculpture Forest visit haliburtonsculptureforest.ca.
