Tofino Artist Bjorn Banke
Carver

G


Growing up in his father’s workshop watching him carve gave Bjorn an intimate understanding of the tools of carving and the transformation of wood into art.

This transfer of knowledge continued a three generation history of carving in the Banke family. Bjorn’s attitude towards his craft matured as he did – pieces that he once might have finished in a day now took months to bring to perfection. Bjorn devoted more time in learning to capture light and movement in his art form. He learned to develop his technique and skill in finishing, from sanding to oiling.

Working primarily outside in nature Bjorn takes each piece of weathered wood and looks to see what inner purpose hides inside.

Often on fair weather days, Bjorn can be found carving or sanding on Chesterman Beach.
