I am very much a left brained person – a logical thinker who enjoys solving problems – the more math involved the better! I have always admired creative, right brained people. It is mysterious how they come up with the things they do. We are all inspired when they use their talents to create something magnificent. My default comment is usually “I wish I were that talented!”.
I have had the privilege of working with a very inspiring individual. Michael Hepher of Bluebeetle Creative has been a business associate and is a long time friend. He has amazing creative talent which has resulted in a lot of great looking websites, logos and print designs. He has always had a knack for graphic design. He can literally make the computer do what ever he can imagine, but his creativity does not stop at online or print design. He’s done some work with Paul Reimer of Reimer & Co blacksmith shop that is quite remarkable. The latest . . . a large public art display.
The Reconciliation Sculpture includes people figures sharing the burden of a canoe and a river of turbulent water getting calmer all forged out of steel. The canoe itself weighed more than 700 pounds. The whole thing is quite amazing. The concept is impressive – sharing the carrying of a canoe and a river getting less turbulent – and it does it all using the important symbols of the Ktunaxa people. Then it is all hand forged out of steel! A lot of work was put into making models getting everything right, and then the execution – brilliant – it looks amazing. I am grateful to be associated with such creative genius.
Checkout the sculpture and find the answer to whether or not a 700 pound canoe made of steel will float at Mike and Paul’s collaborative website TerraFurna.com.
