About Elias Wakan
- Elias Wakan (born April 20, 1945) is a constructivist sculptor working since 1996 on Gabriola Island, in British Columbia, Canada.
- His sculptures are reminiscent of the work of Naum Gabo and others in the Russian Constructivist movement.
- His wooden sculptures are assembled from as many as thousands of identical pieces of wood.
- The unit shapes are straight edged, sometimes rectilinear, sometimes triangular, but once assembled produce curved, abstract, geometric sculptures. Before moving to Gabriola, Wakan was one of two owners of Pacific-Rim Publishers, along with his wife, the poet, Naomi Wakan.
- Naomi was Nanaimo's Inaugural Poet Laureate.
