OTHER THINGS
With natural rock formations as a guide for their painted sculptures, Chris Chandler can be huge.
Chandler, who began the introduction to the art 25 years ago, is responsible for Parris Hill, San Jose sculpture and works in a similar way to his residence at Friendly Hall, St Thomas.
The project, which he called Saga Gully is just that - an adventure that began many years ago.
He is particularly proud of Parris Hill, said he had no enemies in a natural rock formation of this magnitude. In addition, there were many local, regional or international painted sculptures, he said.
Therefore wants to Barbados, more attention to the very interesting story carved into the rock to pay themselves.
A similar story Saga Gully formed. Chandler used the canyon on the grounds of his family, an attraction where children, locals and tourists can visit and see how nature can create a beautiful work of art.
He said that the final product would be a large painted sculptures, painted trees, a bridge that goes beyond the spring and is. The project began more than 20 years ago as Chandler began removing the ravine by hand, but he took a break because he lived abroad for several years. So far, the sculpture was full of a government initiative, but Chandler said he is waiting for sponsorship to complete.
The main feature consists of several parts, including a lion, a snake that crosses the whole of the sculpture, the finger of an arbitrator, the pulpit, a man's face, the noise and 13 stages. The lion and snake symbolize good and evil, and in the middle is the pulpit. However, Chandler said the work was finally interpretation.
After completion Saga Gully will be available for visits by children. He plans an essay contest are for children to develop their stories of how they interpret art. "I want to see what can be history."
There is a spring that runs down the canyon during the rainy season to a raging river, he said. One of the tunnels 11 water system feeding the local water supply is also on the property and is also included in the exhibition because of its educational value. "The Water Channel Tunnel Flood and fills the aquifer station Belle".
Chandler, of his art with recycled foam, wood, glass, metal, cardboard and marble began is self-taught.
"Art is always in my blood, and because in the printing industry, where I trained, I would like to see people throwing things, and I said. 'Hey, I can use this" I do not want to lose a small child. People were things and Chris Weir market after throwing things, "he said.
It was recently charged with forming a wall of honor María user Diabetes Center for the Caribbean. It has the form of a solid axis of the Earth and is named after the sponsors of the center.
Chandler has organized in recent years exhibitions. One of his most popular works is, of course, the Parris Hill Sculpture, which was completed 15 years ago.
He said the project was initiated by the people in the community who made the sculpture and painting. However, he said, although he did not really "see" for quite some time, many people were or taken the time to "feel their energy."
It consists of six individual sculptures, each with a name and a story. The Lion and the Mouse confrontation are a continuation of Aesop's Fables, "which has a lesson for the people of the land that never too small to have an impact and help and no matter the size, are needing help others. It is also a story of kindness and forgiveness ".
Other aspects are a Taurus, Aquarius and a giraffe. There is also a procession, the 15 life-size animals, a cricket match play based on the winds of the song cricket has in the jungle. The final piece is the procession is incomplete.
Chandler says instead of driving slowly, people have to park and get out and explore the intricacies of working Parris Hill.
It should also develop art in other communities, with government help.
"It is in communities and what areas will be carried out for improvement with waste," he said: "The communities could take on similar projects; .. Should not be a cliff, but it can be an open space"
