Coast Salish carver Luke Marston completed the model for his latest project — a tribute to Portuguese Joe Silvey and his Coast Salish wives Khaltinaht and Kwahama Kwatleematt (Kwatleematt and Silvey are Marston's great-great-grandparents) — last week. Marston delivered the original yellow-cedar carving to In Bronze, a Langley-based foundry, Friday, May 3. Over the next two to three months, Marston will have four bronze replicas cast of the model that he will then sell to raise funds for the full-scale version of the monument, slated for installation at Stanley Park in September.
