Copper Canopy

 Cut copper leaves suspended from a mesh. City buildings and blue sky seen through the display.

If you find yourself on the waterfront between now and November 16, head for the open space north of the Power Plant gallery. There you'll find a canopy of cut copper leaves, twisting and spinning and reacting to wind and light. If you're there during the day, the leaves blaze when the sun hits them, but if you visit after dark, the on-site lighting creates its own atmosphere. Do as you're encouraged to do - enjoy a moment of stillness beneath this ever shifting forest canopy. 

It was designed by RAW Works, with Roland Rom Colthoff, Suleman Khan, Elmira Yousefi, Aaron Hendershott, and fabricated by Anex Works.
