Hecklefest Crankworx

The artist’s home of Whistler is a mountain biking wonderland. Every year, the world’s largest mountain biking festival is held at the resort: Crankworx Whistler. Heckler’s Rock became an annual tradition to cheer on racers. This piece celebrates the good years on the rock, before its enthusiasm became a little too much.

Whistler Backcountry

This piece was prompted by a 1983 photo from the Whistler Museum and Archives’ Whistler Question Collection, a collection Alyssa worked on cataloguing and digitizing as an archivist.

Provoking awe at the sheer adrenaline required to complete this famous mountain bike jump over the train tracks near Pemberton, BC, this piece is based on the feat and resulting photo of fellow Whistlerite Jonathan Webb.
