Walker, Douglas
Douglas Walker is a Canadian sculptor based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Working mainly with a variety of recycled objects collected at thrift stores and scrap yards, Douglas creates sculptures best described as whimsical and slightly eccentric. He is best known for upcycling discarded musical instruments, such as tubas and trombones, into water features. Always stretching his limits he has created life size musicians, singers and dancers, wacky wind machines and pipe mazes. By melding and blending common cast-off objects, he has proven himself to be an accomplished sculptor whose designs are easily recognizable. Douglas has won both national and international awards for his sculptures. Works created by Douglas can be found throughout North America, the UK , Dubai and Australia
