Chris Kubash and George Heagle Receive Commission
Chris Kubash (Edmonton) and George Heagle (Edmonton) are pleased to announce that their proposal was accepted for the design, construction and installation of a board table for the new Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum in Grande Prairie. The museum will highlight the rich fossil discoveries in
Alberta's Northwest, and the Pipestone Creek bone-bed in particular.
This exciting commission is an example of the faith and commitment of the museum to the arts community in Alberta. The table will be over 20 feet long, and 6 ½ feet wide, and will be constructed in sections to enable efficient installation. Materials used will be curly sycamore veneer and wenge along with stable core and structural materials. The centre of the table will be a diamond-shaped piece of solid wenge, inlaid with fossils from the museum. George and Chris hope to install the table in November, in advance of the museum opening in December.
