Upstream

7 in x 67 in  or  17 cm x 171 cm (framed)
 
Hiking along Grindstone Creek we have witnessed the vibrant colour of the Chinook Salmon swimming upstream during spawning season. We chose to combine this experience with our memory of the turquoise coloured waters from our west coast hikes, to create the colour scheme for this piece. We reused copper pipe from a home renovation project because we loved the coloured patina and the idea of sustainability. The beautiful shapes and natural grains of the wood enhance the movement of water and salmon.
