Over at my writer's blog today, I have another photo post from the Ottawa Welcomes The World embassy series, this time featuring two Caribbean nations, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago.
I am finishing the MosaiCanada series today, but I will be back before it closes in mid-October, so we'll see another series down the line. Here are more shots of Mother Earth.
On The Trail Of The Algonquin People is the title of this sculpture, depicting a family working on constructing a birchbark canoe.
This glance back takes in a different view of The Voyageur, which I showed earlier in the series.
This last work, titled Odyssey and Hope, is not a mosaiculture piece, but representative of what is called ecological art- in this case, driftwood shaped like a mare and colt. The idea comes from a British artist, Heather Jansch.
And I finish where I started, with another view of the plant covered train. I hope you've enjoyed the series.
These topiary sculptures are really amazing!

Most enjoyable, William
ReplyDeleteI wish I had time to head up there before it closes! Thanks again for showing this William!
ReplyDeleteI love these, especially Mother Earth but they are all very special. The horse sculptures are almost identifical to the ones I saw at The Eden Project when I went to Cornwall in the UK a few years ago. They are made by the same sculpturer. It is the 8th photo down. It gave me a big smile when I saw it was one and the same artist.
