Richard Shaw uses mixed media elements to create one-of-a-kind sculptures<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

By Kelly Umenhofer<\/em><\/p>\n

While hunting down materials for his next carving, Richard Shaw came across one of his childhood toys\u2014an old metal steam engine. After taking the train apart, Richard decided to repurpose the steel pieces into fins, gills, an eye, and a mouth for what would soon become a yellow cedar salmon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Family heirlooms aren\u2019t Richard\u2019s only source for materials; often, the perfect pieces turn up in unlikely places. \u201cI find things everywhere, from beaches and antique shops to my own firewood pile,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In 1992, Richard volunteered to help carve architectural embellishments for a new community center in his hometown of Shawnigan Lake, a village on Vancouver Island, B.C. Even though he had no previous carving experience, Richard was all too eager to be taken under the wing of the late George Norris, who specialized in traditional European chip carving. \u201cGeorge organized the project for the center, and I was so lucky to learn woodcarving from a master carver like him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Richard soon became hooked on woodcarving and started making designs of his own. One day, a finished bird sculpture developed a deep split after being left out in the sun. Instead of discarding it, Richard covered the crack with metal feathers. \u201cIt was a happy accident in hindsight,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Once his metal-and-wood hybrid bird materialized, Richard\u2019s imagination took flight. He began modifying other elements by experimenting with chip carving, stains, and inks. Richard also tried to challenge himself by creating designs based on the forests and animals that surround his island home, sometimes adding exaggerated features like teeth, colorful eyes, and mythical armor.<\/p>\n

Richard uses whatever he can get his hands on to turn the ideas in his head into reality. \u201cWith each bit of scrap metal and wood, I get to craft new artifacts from old ones and pay tribute to the creatures that inspired them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
