<p>George Sawchuk (1927&ndash;2012) was a logger who, after losing part of a leg in an industrial accident, began working as an artist. Over thirty years he transformed a forest beside his Fanny Bay home into an outdoor gallery where objects interact with trees and signs creating an wonderful and immersive environment full of cultural and social references.</p>=0D=0A=
