Kelly’s travels - BC Public Art #1
Kelly’s Travels
I took a trip out to BC recently to visit with my elderly parents (Dad is 91 and lives on the Sunshine Coast; Mom is 90 and lives on Vancouver Island.)
One thing that I enjoy seeing whenever I go out to BC is the amount of First Nations artwork that seems to be everywhere. They do a beautiful job of adding art to functionality.
The following were taken at the Tsain-Ko shopping centre in Sechelt next to the hospital. They even incorporate the art in some of the centre’s crosswalks.
I completely missed getting pics of the totem poles gracing the entrance and the owl; I was getting stuff for Dad.
Photo credit for the totem poles and the owl pics go to the Tsain - Ko shopping centre.
“These spiritual animal legends are told from many tribal perspectives across many nations, each as equally significant as the next. Please respect and honour them all.”
Metal Artwork Artist is Manuela Salinas, Shishalh nation member
