In New Life from Old Wood David Evanson rescues old growth trees abandoned on our local beaches and reveals their unique inner beauty. Abstract free form carvings from old growth cedar, alder, and douglas fir encourage us to examine the consumption of our old growth forests in our current industrial logging model.

David Evanson is a local artist who has been carving for 15 years. Recently, he has been transitioning to larger scale and more abstract carvings. He draws sustenance, nourishment, and resilience from the natural world, and that connection continues as he works with some of the oldest wood in this country.

This exhibition was sponsored by Gibsons Home Hardware and Coast Lifestyles Network.
