| General Description : | The 2001 Championships will be held at Vancouver's General Motors Place with 220 skaters from some 50 countries expected to participate. It is estimated that approximately 175,000 spectators from Canada and around the world will attend. Vancouver designer Barbara Hodgson used a montage to portray the beauty and artistry of both the sport and the skaters, with background colours to reflect the coldness of the venues and the warmth of the performance. Photographer Lorne Bridgman focused on the skater(s) as the primary source of artistry in the sport, emphasizing the aesthetics of the distinctive poses while capturing the tension of the skaters' movements. In creating the background for the stamps, illustrators Pascal Milelli and Nola Johnston chose the graphic simplicity of a repetitive, fluid pattern to mimic a skater's markings on ice. |
