Deer

 Part of an art piece with a bronze sculpture of a male deer with nice antlers, placed oddly looking down from a cement plinth, almost as if a piece of sidewalk was taken and raised up 90 degrees

Location: Corner of Sherbourne and Linden
Date photo taken: 28 November 2017

This oddly oriented deer sculpture is part of the multi-piece installation by Toronto-based artist Eldon Garnet featured last May. According to the artist's statement, this work "is a commentary and a reflection on our urban interaction with nature. Not long ago, the wilderness was considered somewhat threatening and something we should fortify ourselves against. Today, our relationship with nature has turned into a nostalgic yearning to embrace something that no longer exists. " If you want to get up close and personal, this deer's mate is more accessibly placed adjacent to the property's fence.
