Carving & Print Making By Zipolita

First I was just carving little stamps to make Peace Flags for my #PeacePrayerFlagProject and then it turned it to actual Print Making. I am so grateful to Aaron Nelson Moody for being such a wonderful instructor and mentor in teaching me to carve but in the many other lessons I have learned this year in the Reconciliation Carving Cohort that I attended at Langara.

I had no carving experience when I started and I am very happy with what I have achieve and hopeful for the future.

Sculpture Honours Portuguese & Coast Salish First Nations Cultures

Sculpture Honours Portuguese & Coast Salish First Nations Cultures

"Luke Marston’s sculpture, Shore to Shore, stands at the site of his family’s ancestral village site X̲wáýx̲way, and celebrates Portuguese adventurer Joe Silvey (“Portuguese Joe”) as well as his first and second Coast Salish wives, Khaltinaht and Kwatleemaat. The artist Luke Marston is the great-great-grandson of Portuguese Joe and Kwatleemaat." Read more here

"Joe Silvey was born and raised on Portugal’s Altantic Azores Islands, though after several adventures, Joe found himself on the Pacific, and an early pioneer of Vancouver’s Gastown.

The sculpture honours the link between Portuguese and Coast Salish First Nations cultures, marks the land’s rich heritage, and symbolizes unity for the Vancouver’s present-day diverse inhabitants.

The large bronze sculpture is surrounded by engraved Portuguese stone, prominently installed in Stanley Park’s Northeast shore, overlooking downtown." Read more here

What a fantastic day!!!
Look where I went. Do you know where this is?

Do you know who Luke Marston is ? http://lukemarston.com/

How about Portuguese Joe Silvey http://shoretoshore.ca/story.php

Portuguese Joe Silvey and my Great Great Grandfather Portuguese John Enos were some of BC's early pioneers and Joe Silvey's daughter was the first European child born in Vancouver

Luke Marston created a gorgeous sculpture for all the descendants of Portuguese and for the Indigenous people who lived in Stanley Park, Vancouver. See below.
