His interest in the North Shore isn’t about its lush nature
but in the marrying of technology and the landscape — how
Moodyville started — lumber, shipping and how these
elements are nestled amongst the landscape.

WAYNE Eastcott is one of the 12
artists participating in the Visions of
the North Shore Millennium Project.
He has been working on the North
Shore for over 25 years and has been
instrumental in the development of
the Capilano College printmaking
department.

Eastcort was born in Trail, B.C. He came
to Vancouver for his formal schooling and
graduated from the Vancouver School of Art
in 1966.

Eastcott left school primarily a painter prac-
tising his printmaking on the side. However a
job ata local television station changed his
focus when he began experimenting with the
studios’ Xerox equipment to make prints.

Eventually Eastcott gave up painting to
pursue printmaking full time. He relates: *...1
could do much more with prints, I think it
was easier for me, that’s what I was about.”

In 1971, Eastcott along with B.C. Binning

started the Dundarave Print Workshop in West
Vancouver. It is now located on Granville
Island in Vancouver. That same year, Eastcott
joined the art faculty at Capilano College
where he continues to work today. In 1979 he
established the print making department at the
college and The Art Institute, a graduate pro-
gram, was added in 1983.

Eastcote l:as exhibited in a variety of solo
and group exhibitions throughout the world.
He has a special affinity for Japan, where he
travels and exhibits often. Easteott’s works can
be found in both corporate and public collee-
tions in Canada, the United States, Poland and
Japan.

Of the 12 sites, Wayne chose Moodyville to
interpret. His interest in the North Shore isn’t
about its lush nature but in the marrying of
technology and the landscape — how
Moodyville started — umber, shipping and
how these elements are nestied amongst the
landscape. Eastcott’s work is about technology
in collaboration with nature and man.

Schilhus, a hill, high bluff, or bank, is the
Squamish name for the Moodyville area in the
City of North Vancouver. This place was tradi-
