ThreeSidesOneGesture, 2019

ARTIST

LOCATION
Parkway Mall, 85 Ellesmere Road, Toronto  Ontario  M1R 4B7

DESCRIPTION

Inspired by the historic architectural curved roof feature of Parkway Mall and the heritage of Maryvale Farm (a breeder and trainer of racehorses circa 1928-1939), ThreeSidesOneGesture curves into an arch through which the community enters and engages with the history and identity of the neighbourhood. In this sculpture, the community experiences three elements that coexist: the human conjoined with the ecosystem and the built environment, even though all three are never simultaneously visible. By walking around the sculpture, the viewer experiences the changing juxtapositions of the arch, humanity and horse, which superimpose in changing configurations.
