What a majestic piece of art! Towering before us, the Tree Snag, a magnificent sculpture by Douglas Coupland, stands tall and proud. The inspiration for this piece? A massive fir tree snag, collected by legendary artist, Gordon Smith, who also happens to be Coupland’s friend. Years ago, the two had an unforgettable adventure beachcombing in Haida Gwaii. On that trip, they found driftwood, fishing floats, and all sorts of treasures. Their experience led Coupland to immortalize this day with a series of public art pieces, including the Tree Snag. This sculpture is made of resin and fiberglass, and it stands 30 feet tall and 30 feet wide, weighing 16,000 pounds. The Tree Snag is an impressive piece designed to give viewers a sense of the awe-inspiring natural world. This artwork was created to honor the beauty of art, and Coupland has even included a small, passageway that takes you through this magnificent art, so you can experience art like never before.
