THE ART OF CONRAD SARZYNICK
Transforming wood into sculpture is an act of discovery. What can be done with a log full of cracks, a knotted burl, a precut plank, or even a half-rotted stump? What will the final piece look like? The particular characteristics of a piece of wood determine what I will cut away and what I will keep. As I am working, each new curve or angle carved from the wood reveals what the next step will be. Each wandering crack is a new challenging clue. Like a dinosaur bone buried in earth, the sculpture is in there somewhere, and I will find it.
WORDS | CONRAD SARZYNICK PHOTOGRAPHY | THIS PAGE WENDY D, OPPOSITE PAGE CONRAD SARZYNICK
12
I create my sculptures as starting points for the imagination. I capture glimpses of hidden worlds that peek around the edges of everyday reality. When the opportunity arises, they unfold fully formed and strangely familiar. And even though we do not always know what is going on, we do know something IS going on.
In my more abstract pieces I create shapes reminiscent of natural forces, of birds and fish and currents of wind, that welcome multiple interpretations. I enjoy when someone tells me they see something in one of my sculptures that I didn’t even consider. My work is about discovery, both during the process of making and in experiencing a finished piece.

WHISPERINGS A CELEBRATION OF THE FOREST WORLD The writings of eminent B.C. artist Emily Carr have inspired Anni Hunt and Catherine Nicholls to explore the wonders of the West Coast rainforest. In an all-new exhibition to be held from March 26 to May 15 at the Fibre Works Art Gallery in Madeira Park, these textile artists present their own observations and feelings for the stunning forest landscape. Natural materials as inspiration and media have led these two to listen carefully to the “whisperings” of the forest and record what they hear. VISIT WWW.FIBREWORKSGALLERY.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION

HEALTH & WELLNESS
Live Life! It’s 2016 and most of us, whether we’ve told anyone or not, have made a few quiet lifestyle resolutions. Adventure, ease, community, health, or inspiration: no matter what you want more of in your life, the Sunshine Coast has much to offer those who want to make big changes or minor tweaks in order to live better. Here, where we have a terrain for every taste—surf or turf, sea and sky, village or wilderness, salt water or fresh, inlet or white-capped strait—our residents seek to be active, to commune with nature, and to make wellness a priority.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
Opportunities for adventure are everywhere on the Sunshine Coast, and getting out on the water is a good place to start. If you are already a boater, consider taking some landlocked friends for an outing to Thormanby Island or Plumper Cove (Keats Island). Chances are they’ll happily pack a sumptuous lunch for everyone, or buy dinner at a marine pub later. Tour companies can take groups fishing, up wilderness inlets, and to visit First Nations sites. Or rent/buy a kayak and do some exploring on your own. Combine adventure, fitness, and socializing by joining a paddling club. Kids and teens can take sailing lessons in Gibsons, where there’s always just the right amount of wind. Or maybe a leisurely sunset cruise around Pender Harbour suits you best. And if your goal is to get into the water more this year, you are spoiled for choice in the Pender Harbour area, with several large, uncrowded, crystal-clear lakes to choose from. Prefer salt? Then join the adventurous kite-boarders at Davis Bay on a windy day, or the happy families at Porpoise Bay when it is calm. Our richly forested mountainsides are veined with world-class trails for bikers, hikers, and horse riders. Roberts Creek has an active equestrian community, and mountain bikers come from all over to challenge themselves on our trails. The fine sandy stretch of beach beside the Roberts Creek jetty is perfect when
you need to cool down after your forest ride. And let’s not forget how easily we can access an alpine experience. All you need is a moderately rugged vehicle, and in no more than half an hour from Sechelt you can be hiking or skiing Dakota Ridge or the Tetrahedron. Abundant fluffy snow in winter, and wildflowers and wild blueberries in summer are waiting. But maybe you’re craving ease and simplicity for 2016. If so, companies and individuals can offer help with downsizing and decluttering. Also, a number of businesses offer meal preparation and delivery, housecleaning, and pet and yard care. Maybe this is the year to go easy on yourself and call in some help. Perhaps ease involves a move? Sechelt is a mecca for seniors and families. The hub of the Coast enjoys the convenience of a newly expanded hospital, great schools, shops, and restaurants, all in a compact, flat, and user-friendly town, complete with float plane access. Mobility issues? The Sechelt promenade is a kilometre of carefully tended seaside sidewalk with benches at convenient intervals—perfect for a baby stroller or wheelchair. There’s no reason the very young, the getting older, and the temporarily laid-up cannot smell the fresh sea air while watching for herons, hummingbirds (year round!), sea lions, and whales.

HEALTH & WELLNESS Perhaps you’re craving more community involvement and new friends. Our communities thrive on volunteer expertise and energy for everything from arts events to Polar Bear swims. Make some inquiries, look around, and you’ll realize there’s a whole world of warm community, satisfying involvement, and so many events that need you! Or consider lending your voice to one of the Coast’s fantastic community choirs. It’s a great way to meet people of all ages and be a part of something wonderful. Our residents are discerning and health-conscious. Every community on the Sunshine Coast has natural health stores to provide organic produce or high-quality herbs and supplements. Ask a friend to recommend a health or alternative-medicine practitioner if you feel in need of a tune-up. You will find certified massage therapists, physiotherapists, naturopaths, homeopaths, reiki practitioners, TCM, reflexologists, herbalists . . . just to mention a few. The list is long, and the expertise runs deep. Our local resorts and spas have just the right pampering package if you or a loved one is feeling a little run down. Inspiration is vital to wellness and finds us via many pathways. Maybe this year should start with a yoga or meditation retreat, or perhaps it’s time to set up a regular regime. Sometimes you need to set aside the time and space for playful creativity, whether it’s clearing out a room in your home, finding a secret place in the woods, or going dancing. Maybe a move to a home/workspace with an inspiring view would get that novel or dissertation finished. Or perhaps just a day of solitude and a forest walk. If you think more attention to Nature, be it bird-watching, mushroom-picking, bee-keeping or wild-crafting, would be just the thing to recalibrate your life, a few inquiries will set you up with a club or put you in touch with a mentor. And if you are hoping to find a group that shares your interests on a spiritual path, you’ll be surprised by the variety of options that a little searching will reveal. Or . . . just find a mossy rock in a quiet place and let your spirit catch up with you. Our splendid natural environment will help in any way it can. Your wellness awaits.

ROOMS WITH VIEWS PHOTOGRAPHY BY LINDA SABISTON
WORDS | NANCY PINCOMBE
View, view, view. The old real estate adage (“location, location, location”) applies with even more clout when a view is involved. No other feature helps a property hold its value in declining markets and sell quickly in buoyant markets. Builders and architects love the challenge of incorporating landscape features—ancient trees, an expressive rock face, or stunning view—into their designs, and expert photography is increasingly sought after to capture their efforts.
32
Linda Sabiston has been specializing in interior and architectural photography here on the Sunshine Coast for nine years now, and she’s got it down. View properties are her favourite challenge because a lot of skill is required to do them justice. She says getting an interior shot that also highlights a view is the most difficult part. “Do-it-yourselfers will find that the interior is well lit but the windows are just a bright white blob.� And standing on the balcony with your average camera, photographing the view as a separate shot, often leads to disappointing results, because there will still be dark and very bright areas. A balanced exposure is the key, and it can be tricky to achieve without the right equipment and training.

CAPTURING THE VIEWS Realtors say that older properties that have views, or view potential, present challenges not always that easy to resolve. Sometimes the view is compromised by an awkwardly placed chimney or an ugly shed. These things can be taken care of (though the expense varies). But sometimes it is a neighbour’s tree or newly built house, in which case passions can run high. “Much of the way I shoot is based on what I have to work with,” Sabiston says, “whether I shoot head on, off to the side, or what have you. There’s no hard-set rules, just trial and error to create the most appealing image.”
