Michael Dennis lives on Denman Island BC. He is the sculptor that created Penticton Ancestors there; three large cedar figures installed on our waterfront in Spirit Square in September 2009, representing the Spirits of our past, even should I say our bygone Saints. The figures will continue to change as they age, being cedar, going from a gentle brown to an ancient grey color as time passes. All our visitors get photographed beside them!....
Apparently I am not only old, I am not only a forefather or a great-grandpa, but I am also an ancestor, according to the dictionary. Fortunately, I am not a sculpture, yet, like all those other English chaps like Sir Titus Salt for instance. I don't somehow think I ever will be either....thank goodness?

I like the ancestors shot.

The first picture is really striking, Michael and shows the sculptures to perfection!
Love those sculptures - and I can imagine how beautifully they will age - as I'm sure you are doing Michael! Even if no-one makes a statue for you.
