115: Three Ravens: James Smith • 2009

The artist was inspired by the nature of Whistler and the Valley Trail to recycle bicycle tires in the creation of three raven sculptures. They capture essential elements of Whistler in combining cycling, recycling, wildlife, and the Valley Trail. The artist held a public art event to involve people in the “feathering of the birds”, which involved screwing bicycle tires pieces onto the carved recycled plastic form of the bird body.

The position of the Ravens at either side of the Valley Trail near the Crabapple Creek bridge at the Whistler Golf Course can be a surprise for some people. Like Ravens, they perch in the trees, waiting for an opportunity.
