Today I installed my wall relief mural ‘Eastern Gap’ over at DuEast, a new condo building. It’s 10’ x 6’ piece in twelve panels. Thank you Daniels Corporation and Glennie Cruz for the opportunity and thank you Artstall for the installation work!
‘Eastern Gap’ refers to one of the harbour entrances in Toronto that connects the inner harbour to Lake Ontario. The artwork is based on a photograph of waves taken at this location. It’s an abstracted relief sculpture. The light and dark areas in the photograph have been used to generate curved geometry. Light areas are higher and dark ones are lower.
Thin gaps cut through the structure in a regular grid which contrasts with the sinewy curves of the water geometry. The gaps could be interpreted as a map or city grid overlaying the contours of a landscape.
