Inspiration

Rip was inspired by local heritage to sculpt these seven life-size Canadian Geese as part of a major entryway project in the City of Tualatin. “The indigenous Native American Kalapuya tribe of Tualatin believe geese to be a powerful totem and spirit guide, representing community, cooperation and belonging”, stated Rip when asked about the sculpture. “They carry significant meaning; they’re tied directly to Tualatin and to what the city represents.”
