Angus Sullivan < Back Originally Published On: August 8, 2017 Originally Published By: Haliburton Echo Embracing Eos Written By: Angus Sullivan Embracing Eos was created by Charles O’Neil in 2004. One of the joys of life in the Highlands is waking up early on the occasional morning to enjoy the sunrise. Sitting on your porch, dock, or on your way to work in the morning, you cannot help but marvel at the beauty of the dawn as the red rays of the sun creep over the horizon. “Embracing Eos” by Charles O’Neil is a tribute to the beauty of the dawn. O’Neil’s sculpture of a 14 foot man faces east, with arms uplifted, reaching towards the horizon as if he is embracing the sunrise. Eos was the Greek goddess of the dawn. Sister to Helios, god of the sun, Eos was said to have pulled back the curtain of dawn each day so her brother could ride the chariot of the sun across the sky. The red colours you see in the sky during the sunrise are Eos’ rosy fingers and arms as she pulls back the curtain. Eos was cursed by Aphrodite, for having slept with Ares, to have an insatiable desire for mortal men. This curse caused Eos to abduct many handsome men such Orion, Tithonus and Cleitus. The story of the man in O’Neil’s sculpture is unclear. Is he about to fall victim to Eos’ advances, is he simply admiring Eos’ beauty or is he a past lover of Eos, left behind as her advances turned upon another. Being a sculpture of black steel and dark wire standing removed from the main path of the sculpture forest, ‘Embracing Eos’ can be difficult to see at dusk. Some visitors have even reported that the sculpture has disappeared. However, when we check the next morning the man is there, standing on his rock looking towards the eastern sky. Who knows, perhaps he does walk the forest at night only to return each morning to greet the beautiful dawn. The Haliburton Sculpture Forest is located in Glebe Park on 297 College Drive. This unique collection of 36 sculptures by Canadian and international artists is open to the public, dawn to dusk, for your own discovery. Free guided tours occur on Tuesdays (10:00-11:00) and Wednesdays (12:10-12:50) in July and August.

Andrew Rothfischer has studied art both in Canada and abroad. While he has been on the artist's path for many years, in 2009 he finally graduated from the Haliburton School of Arts with a diploma in Visual Arts. Andrew specializes in two seemingly disparate areas; pastel paintings of landscapes and outdoor sculptures. His paintings often highlight places in nature that we tend to overlook or take for granted. In 2004 he produced the exhibit, “Jackson Creek – Travels through an Urban Watershed” that featured 25 paintings depicting the hard realities and the beauty that shape urban waterways today. Since that time, this idea of special places has evolved into the theme of “Sense of Place" that has continued in the the current series, the "Warsaw Project". Andrew's sculptures are almost exclusively created for the outdoors. They are designed to live in a field or in a garden. They are sometimes functional garden accents like dividers, bird baths or benches. The materials used are kiln formed glass, stone, cement or metal retrieved from the local junkyard. He works with these hard materials - fusing, casting, molding and shaping, reclaiming -, to create new forms that both startle and delight the viewer with their simplicity and beauty. So how do these two disciplines tie together? For the artist, the paintings are "of the land"; recognizing and capturing the essence of those special places that stir us. The sculptures take these impressions a step further. They play with those same colours and shapes and light, creating forms that are "on the land". Both forms, however, in their own way, celebrate and pay homage to the landscape around us.

A fibre arts installation by Susan Kendal < All Events Pop Goes the Forest A fibre arts installation by Susan Kendal Thursday, June 9, 2022 Thursday, October 27, 2022 Address: Haliburton Sculpture Forest, College Drive, Haliburton, ON, Canada More About the Artist Pop Goes the Forest is a series of textile sculptures—loud, macro interpretations of lichens, fungi, and bark of the region. The work is made of nylon paracord and Ottertex outdoor fabric with bright, popping colours in sharp contrast to the natural hues of the forest. This installation was originally commissioned by THEOP (The Deep River Theatre Operating Committee) and installed in the trees along the Lamure Beach path in Deep River, Ontario from August 2021-May 2022. Susan Kendal Susan Kendal is an artist newly-based in Deep River, Ontario as of 2020, on the unceded territory of the Anishinabewaki and Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin), Williams and Robinson- Huron (Treaty 61) territory. She spent 15 years as a contemporary dance artist in Toronto working as a choreographer, dancer and costume designer. She also taught in the Young Dancers Program at The School of Toronto Dance Theatre for 13 years, and worked at The Dance Current magazine for 10 years in various capacities including writer and managing editor. Slowly but surely, Susan’s love of stitching and Craft crept to the forefront of her creative practice, and she now primarily works as a textile artist. Her work is featured in the book Strange Material: Storytelling Through Textiles by Leanne Prain. She recently spent eight years living in Barrie, Ontario where she developed her handwork skills, made textile art, and taught art and stitching to women in transitional housing with funding from the Ontario Arts Council’s Artists in Communities Project Grant. Susan spent the fall of 2021 at the Icelandic Textile Centre’s Ós Residency where she focused on natural dyeing and traditional rug hooking. There are two boys of 10 and 14 who make Susan a mom, which is surely a creative-inventive-improvisational journey in itself!

Metalgenesis means the creation of art from an idea as well as the changing properties of a medium. Metalgenesis originated as the artist team and husband and wife, Don Dickson Sculptor, and Amy Doolittle Administrator / Promoter and Assistant. Don was well known across North America for his sound sculptures and public art. From Don’s studio in Mississauga Ontario, his sculptural works were commissioned for public spaces by The District Court of Appeals, Dayton Beach, Florida; Town Hall Park, Osoyoos, British Columbia; University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida; the City of Brampton Performing Arts Centre; the Richard and Annette Bloch Cancer Survivor Garden, Columbia, South Carolina; the Science and Engineering Building at University of North Florida, Jacksonville Florida and the Frank McKechnie Community Centre, Mississauga. Metalgenesis has two works in the Sculpture Forest – Forest Sound Vessel and Evolution. Don was a member of the Sculptors Society of Canada, Society of Canadian Artists, Colour and Form Society, and the Metal Arts Guild, and has won numerous awards for his work. ​After a long and courageous battle with ALS, Amy Doolittle died in 2009. Don Dickson, has carried on the work of Metalgenesis. Don describes his work in the following way: “I have always been making things with my hands. I have worked with many materials but have gravitated to metal and stone. I made the leap to professional artist in 1998 and discovered two sides to my sculptor’s personality; the abstract and the musical sound. Both paths of expression are important to me and have driven me to create a diverse range of work. The abstracts explore combinations of line and form as well as the political, social, and ecological issues of the world around me. The sound sculptures continue to combine kinetic, visual, and auditory aspects and have evolved from single sound pieces to combining sound sculpture with other abstract sculptural elements. My newest group of works are for the garden, from small sound sculptures to whimsical bugs and creatures. Combining mediums is intriguing for me as is the textures and types of marble, granite, and limestone that I have been working with. I am fascinated by the four elements which have influenced my recent stone pieces. These works are based on the four creative energies of the universe: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and the balance between them. The elements work in harmony, seeking balance even though at times their contrary aspects may seem in conflict with each other, to create and to sustain life.” < All Artists Metalgenesis: Don Dickson & Amy Doolittle ABOUT SCULPTOR Artist Bio Metalgenesis means the creation of art from an idea as well as the changing properties of a medium.

Angus Sullivan < Back Originally Published On: July 25, 2017 Originally Published By: Haliburton Echo C to C, Unity Gate, Spiral Ascent and the Sam Slick Park Bridge Written By: Angus Sullivan Works include C to C, Unity Gate, Spiral Ascent and the Sam Slick Park Bridge were created by John Shaw-Rimmington. You may have noticed what looked like a construction site last week in Sam Slick Park, across the road from the high school. Stones were strewn about the ground, and a team was working furiously stacking and moving these stones on top of a curved wooden structure. This was the Haliburton School of Art + Design’s Dry Stone Structure course led by John Shaw-Rimmington. John has taught a Dry Stone Structure course at the college for many years. Students come from all over North America to work and learn from John. This year’s group spent a week in Haliburton, creating a stone bridge which now spans the stream that flows through Sam Slick Park into Head Lake. Dry stone is an ancient building technique used to create stone structures without any mortar. Bridges and arches can be created by placing stones on a rounded wooden form, putting a keystone at the top of the arch, and then removing the support. The force of the rocks pushing into the keystone keeps all of the rocks in place. Over the years, John has worked with his students to produce three sculptures in the Haliburton Sculpture Forest; C to C, Unity Gate, and Spiral Ascent. Each year John introduces different methods, but you can see similar elements in the bridge and the sculptures. Structures are made using stones standing on edge, Spiral Ascent, Unity Gate and the bridge have arches held in place by keystones, and all are made from local granite. These structures are beautiful and surprisingly solid. To see more of John Shaw Rimmington’s work, visit the Haliburton Sculpture Forest or John’s blog thinking-stoneman.blogspot.ca. The Haliburton Sculpture Forest is located in Glebe Park on 297 College Drive. It is open dawn to dusk with free guided tours in July and August on Tuesdays, 10:00 – 11:30 am, and on Wednesdays at 12:10 – 12:50pm.

Community members joined Jared Tait to learn about traditional woodland style painting and help to create and paint an installation for the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. < All Events Bawaajigan - To Dream Community members joined Jared Tait to learn about traditional woodland style painting and help to create and paint an installation for the Haliburton Sculpture Forest. Monday, August 12, 2024 Friday, August 16, 2024 Address: 297 College Drive, Haliburton, ON, Canada Bawaajigan means "To Dream". Jared Tait was the artist in residence in the Haliburton Sculpture Forest in August 2024. He worked with community members at the campus of the Fleming Haliburton School of Art + Design to create 3-dimensional woodland style paintings, which were installed in the Sculpture Forest on Saturday, August 17th, 2024. Jared Tait is a member of the Sachigo Lake First Nation an Oji-Cree First Nation in Treaty 9, territory in the far north of Ontario near the Manitoba border. Jared was raised in Thunder Bay. He currently resides with his family in the countryside near Bancroft, Ontario. In 2018, Jared began painting under the mentorship of his father, Tim Tait a self-taught artist. Jared recalls his childhood being surrounded by his father's paintings and being told the stories within them. Since his exposure to art at a young age, Jared has created a strong appreciation and connection to art. Through his understanding of the Woodland style and the methods of telling a story through his work, Jared captures the deep relations to the land and its creatures. He builds on these motivations to preserve the sacred stories, symbolism and teachings. Jared creates imagery inspired by his personal and spiritual experiences and hopes to pass his teachings on to future generations. People can see Jared’s work hanging near the registration desk of the Haliburton School of Art and Design. An image of his mural Biingiden can be seen on one of the panels in the kiosks at the entrances to the Sculpture Forest and Glebe Park. Photo Gallery: < Previous Next >

Simon Chidharara was born in 1980 in Mutare in Nyanga, a beautiful mountainous region with a strong sculpting tradition located near the Mozambique border. He started sculpting at the age of 11, apprenticing with his older brother Kenneth, who is also represented by ZimArt. Simon completed his secondary education before deciding that he wanted to pursue his passion for carving full time. Learning is still important to him and he is voracious reader. “Any topic interests me,” he says. “Geography, history, science all influence human life and I like to find out more about what makes us do the things we do, and feel the way we feel.” Simon is one of the founding members of the Nyanga Arts Centre, a co-operative venture run by local artists in the Nyanga region. Having relocated to Chitungwiza following his residency with ZimArt in 2007, Simon is no longer a full time member but he remains connected to the Centre and still travels to Nyanga on a regular basis. He says the stone from the region is itself a vital source of inspiration to him and that he will always remain close to his rural roots. Indeed a strong influence in Simon's work is the natural world and man's connection to birds and animals. When he came to Canada in 2007 Simon was the first third-generation artist from the Nyanga region to travel overseas to represent himself and present his work directly to an international audience. He has long been popular with Canadian collectors who are drawn to the expressive range in his sculptures and the emotional depth. Simon's subjects are frequently women or “feminine spirits,” which are sometimes represented as mythical creatures. “Women are the centre of life,” he explains, “So I like to celebrate everything about them.” Simon has participated in several group exhibitions at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Mutare. His work has been bought by galleries and collectors from Holland, the UK, the US, South Africa, Canada and Germany. Simon Chidharara is represented in Canada exclusively by ZimArt.

Angus Sullivan < Back Originally Published On: July 18, 2017 Originally Published By: Haliburton Echo Wind Dervish Written By: Angus Sullivan Work created by John McKinnon in 2017. There have been a number of new additions to the Haliburton Sculpture Forest this summer. As part of the celebration of Canada, Ontario, and Dysart’s 150, four artists, from around the world and across the country, were invited to Haliburton to take part in the 2017 Sculpture Symposium. Each sculptor was charged with creating a new piece for the Sculpture Forest out of a large block of limestone based on the theme “Carved on the Canadian Shield.” John McKinnon, one of four sculptors, created “Wind Dervish”. For John, trips across the Canadian Shield conjure up images of stone, wind, and timelessness. Over thousands of years, the stone that never seems to change is picked up, microscopic by microscopic layer and carried off by the wind. The wind, which shows itself in the things it moves and shapes, is an expression of time. John wanted this piece to think outside of time. Thousands of years have been compressed into a moment, and the layer of stone has risen up and is dancing like a Dervish in the wind. All four sculptors began with the same stone and the same task, but each came up with a unique and creative vision for their sculptures. Come to the Grand Opening of “Carved on the Canadian Shield” on Tuesday, July 25th at 5:00 – 6:00 at the Sculpture Forest for a reception, dedication and audio presentations by the artists about the new sculptures. For a guided walk through Haliburton’s history along the Head Lake Trail to the Grand Opening, meet at 4:00 pm at the Rails End Gallery, 23 York Street, Haliburton. Return transportation will be provided. The Haliburton Sculpture Forest is located in Glebe Park on 297 College Drive.
