Airport totem


This is a detail of one of the faces on the totem pole located inside Vancouver International Airport (YVR). Entitled "Celebrating Flight," the 12 metre-high (40 ft) carving is the work of celebrated Northwest Coast Native artist Don Yeomans. There are numerous works of art in the airport. This one is located in the link area between the domestic and international terminals.

I had a few minutes to myself at the airport the other day and drew this while parents watched their children playing around the base of the pole.
