The Gnome Homes
Gnomeville, population infinity. A collaboration between Callum McLeary of Birch Lodge Woodworks and Jess Leahey. A small surreal village emerges with a Gnomehotel, a hostel, a vacation rental, a nightclub and there are several gnome homes you can glimpse inside.These glimpses into a parallel universe suggests there is a network of life happening inside our forests, more than we can see with the naked eye. The PhenGNOMEnal Hotel: Inside is a homage to MC Escher ‘Impossible Stairs’, an upside down, confusing glimpse into the gnome-iverse, their impossible network inside the trees. The largest of the containers, this has two...

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 Cocoon
