"Toronto artist Noel Harding says his gleaming sculpture, which stands just over four metres tall at the corner of Kent and Slater streets, isn’t a teapot “per se” — but he doesn’t mind the comparison.
“Everybody brings their own language to the piece,” Harding admits.
The newly-installed piece of public art outside Centretown’s Minto Place at 180 Kent St., entitled Northshore, has been compared to a tree trunk, a woman’s dress, drapery - and a teapot.
The structure is made of shimmering stainless steel, with a stub near the top that looks either like a spout or a tree branch. A jack pine sapling stands at the top, rotating at one revolution per minute, to evoke what Harding calls the equivocation of time.
“The world is always turning, and everything is under movement,” he says.
