About Pine Cone 23-560
This finely detailed steel pine cone was hand forged by Floyd Elzinga. The Niagara-based sculptor has become known for re-imagining iconic Canadian imagery in his unique contemporary metalwork. This small table top pine cone emulates natural form. Its rust-coloured patina enhances its rustic appeal."Seeds embody a stereotypical potential and that idea of the potential of a seed is magnified by 10 to 200 times in a pinecone." Floyd Elzinga
Floyd Elzinga received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in Halifax, NS. Elzinga has been an artist in residence in both India and Vietnam. At the foot of Everest he had the unique experience of creating art from collected waste and in Hanoi he attended a symposium that attracted sculptors from all over the world to build and install pieces in South East Asia’s largest sculpture park. Floyd Elzinga’s pinecone sculptures have been featured as part of Toronto’s Scotiabank Nuit Blanche celebration of contemporary art, and his work is held in collections across Ontario and in the US. He lives and works in Niagara, Ontario.
