Garden Shelter, 2018, Marine grade okoume plywood, epoxy primer, polyurethane topcoat, stainless steel hardware, steel footings, concrete base, 147 x 147 x 114 cm 

Scaled to the size and functionality of traditional park bench seating but without its limited linearity, this octagonal sculpture frames the lushness and seasonal character of a public garden. Users can explore multiple seating planes and viewing configurations. Center branching components emulate botanical growth, and in fall and winter the sculpture’s colour playfully nods towards the promise of a verdant spring.

This project was made possible by the generous support of the City Enrichment Fund: Production and Creation, from the City of Hamilton, ON
