Artist Profile: Dave Barnes — The Warfare of Perception

In these times of isolation, it seems like so many of us are turning to the arts for salvation, sharing online museum tours, links to films, artists, musicians and photography that inspires us. Art and artists has always been a big part of Mountain Life, so it was a real treat to include Dave Barnes in our 10th Anniversary issue. Dave has been working with the Coast Mountains magazine since issue number 1 and his unique style is ubiquitous with our look. Sitting with Dave in his home and talk about art, life and “the warmth of human error” made for one of my favourite artist profiles we’ve ever done.

The way normal people cross the Pacific Ocean in a 37-foot sailboat from Hawaii to San Francisco, explains my neighbour Joel Jacques, is to crew up the boat with six to seven sailors, set the autopilot at 90 degrees straight east, wave to your buddies on the dock, and head for North America.
"I’ve been fortunate enough to spend more than 35 summers here in the Sea to Sky Corridor and I can wholeheartedly say one of my favourite weekends of the year is coming to Squamish at the end of August— The Arc’teryx Climbing Academy."
Have you ever noticed how loss leads to renewal? The 1997 closure of Banff’s buffalo paddock is a good example. Spreading over approximately 30 hectares and surrounded by a 2.5-metre-high wire mesh fence, it held anywhere from ten to 107 captive bison during its century of operation. Conveniently located close to the town of Banff and right beside the Trans-Canada Highway, it was a favourite stopover for locals and tourists to gawk at North America’s largest land mammal from the comfort of their car. Where else in the park could you be guaranteed such a wildlife experience?
