Tree Spirits Wood Carving - Denis Gobeil
My name is Denis Gobeil. I went to Vancouver Art School for two years and experimented with multiple mediums, and I found that sculpture is my passion. My love for nature reflects in every piece that my hands bring forth. Each tree spirit comes alive with its own personality. I allow the wood to tell me if it wishes to be a family, a couple, or a single face.
I use cottonwood bark because of it softness. I also walk the beaches of B.C. and collect beach bark for each piece.
Tree spirits are organic art and I am blessed to be able to share them.
One may wish to go home with you…
I like to imagine that every piece of tree bark has a face in it, hiding beneath its weathered surface.
It is my passion to reveal the faces and to uncover their expressions of joy, peace, kindness, humour, doubt and compassion.
