US EditionAncient art of totem carving can step away from old growth with help from B.C. tech
- Camosun College developed technology for totem pole carving using sustainable second-growth cedar, blending traditional Indigenous art with modern engineering, according to their applied research arm, Camosun Innovates.
- Indigenous artist Carey Newman imagined the apparatus which allows multiple beams of second-growth cedar to be carved instead of old-growth logs, enabling respectful practices.
- The project, called Totem 2.0, was funded by a grant and aims to preserve Indigenous art while respecting environmental concerns, as noted by Richard Gale, director of Camosun Innovates.
- The apparatus supports traditional methods and enhances accessibility for artists with mobility challenges, fostering interest among other communities, according to Gale.
