Eagle Tower
A Focus
The Eagle Spirit of the West Coast in Brackendale,
BC- the eagle capital of Canada.
At the Brackendale Art Gallery, headquarters
of the annual eagle count.
The focus ties together, both physically and spiritually,
the complex of buildings and functions of the
gallery.
Such as
art gallery, gallery store, restaurant, artisans
quarters, workshop and bell factory,
theatre, chapel and headquarters of the annual
eagle count.
The structure is a three story timber and log construction with
a bell housing,
as a roof cap.
The tower walls are a personification of a series of ascending
abstracted eagles,
animystic as the paintings of Emily Carr or
the work of the native Coast Indian Culture. |
