How does inspiration from this stone sculpture "Good View from White Rock Bluff" by Vance Theoret morph into a snowboard?
When artist Peter Wyse was visiting the gallery, he was captivated and intrigued by one of Vance's bears. In particular this bear was looking down from a perch on a white stone base. Peter has been working on a series of bear and polar bear paintings. This curious bear inspired him to paint "Conundrum", an image of a polar bear wondering where all the ice is going.
Later on a friend of his who designs snowboards wanted to use his painting for a new design. Currently the design is still being finalized, but here is an idea of what the board might eventually turn out to be.
It sounds like a perfect creative pathway -- tangential, never straight and always interesting!
