‘Whereness’

Vancouver, BC

‘Whereness’ provides a tactile link between the area’s geological past and its current state. The bottom boulder of the sculpture is a granite glacial erratic, deposited at this address thousands of years ago as a huge ice sheet receded up the Fraser Valley. This very boulder was scanned and replicated six times, then stacked to form a visual puzzle.

At 20’ high, ‘Whereness’ marks physical material realities while it simultaneously projects ever-changing ephemeral conditions of light, movement, and colour from its aluminum sheen.
