Installation
The Masterpiste Gallery
The Masterpiste Gallery is a R.O.A.M. (Revelstoke Outdoor Art Movement) installation by Rob Buchanan. I contributed 2 items in 2022 and there is more to come for the 24/25 ski season. The Masterpiste gallery is the first ever ski through art gallery in the world. Lining the sides of this run are remakes of some of the most famous masterpieces made from recycled ski equipment. As the run continues you travel through a segment of collage, which is my artwork, and then to an area of stencil work.
The Gnomes

There are 3 male and one female, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and one waving you into a location where you can spot the rest of them. Location: Revelstoke Mountain Resort. 2022

This plays with the viewers perspective, creating a magical and fun fractal illusion of an alternate dimension. This installation's structure is framed by wood and wrapped in cedar shakes to...
SNOWPACK sLAYERS
A familiar brick wall is transformed into a ski slope, with dancing shadows and playful skiers in this intriguing three dimensional work. This piece of living art changes with time, weather and the movement of the sun, like a sundial. It reimagines and celebrates an often underappreciated era of Revelstoke architecture, and playfully highlights one of our community’s favourite pastimes, skiing.
Red Dress Project
The exhibit is a collaboration between several community groups, including the Revelstoke Aboriginal Friendship Society, Arts Revelstoke, School District No. 19 and the B.C. Interior Forestry Museum, other organizations, and many volunteers. The REDress Project by Jaime Black is a public art installation that was created in response to the missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) epidemic in Canada and the United States. The on-going project began in 2010 and commemorates missing and murdered indigenous women from the First Nations, Inuit, Métis, and Native American communities by hanging empty red dresses in a range of environments. The project has also inspired other artists to use red to draw attention to the issue of MMIW,...
