THE PHOENIX OF PUBLIC ART
Original mixed media assemblage
2004
(low resolution image illustrated)
INTRODUCTION
This is one of a small series of assemblages involving gemstones. In
this case, I've included a fragment of laboratory flask that was formerly
part of the George Norris public art sculpture "bridge marker" that was
located at the corner of Beattie and Dunsmuir Streets in Vancouver. Over the
years the sculpture was slowly vandalized until a couple of years ago when a
developer completed the process by destroying it entirely. This sculpture is a
statement about the fragility of public art, and a resurrection of a portion
of the George Norris sculpture into a new artwork.
Materials are liquid acrylic, self hardening clay, copper wire, cut
gemstones (citrine and topaz), laboratory flask fragment, foamcore,
lamp base, self-illuminated with battery powered white LED.
It is available for $600.00 (six hundred) Canadian.
