‘Wooden Wave‘, by artists Heather & Lenny Gallant, is available to view at the fence beside Cox and Palmer, courtesy of the Three Rivers Art Trail!
This cresting wave of pixels is composed of 2,304 wooden blocks, individually cut, sanded and painted. The wood for the blocks and frame was entirely sourced from the collapsed community ice rink built in the late 1960’s in St. Georges, PEI. Water and its shades of blues and greens are such an important part of our island identity. A community ice rink is now transformed to art for the community. We want to thank the following people for helping to sand hundreds of blocks: Angela, Dennis, Heather, Jay, and Sandra
About the Artist
Heather and Lenny Gallant have been working with reclaimed wood since 2010. They began refinishing furniture, but their process has transformed, and they now use salvaged wood as raw materials for their new artwork and jewelry designs. They work with the natural beauty of their materials to create a unique and original aesthetic. Heather and Lenny work from their studio located in St. Georges, PEI.
