Celebration of growth
Text from a plaque next to the seed pod sculpures at the corner of Rideau Street and King Edward Avenue:
"Karl Ciesluk`s artwork celebrates the continuous process of growth and renewal and, as such, he has introduced these concepts in a sculpture series of seed pods and plant growth for King Edward Avenue renewal.
Elegant lilies and fiddleheads sprout from metal stems as if growing from the concrete below. Giant seed pods sculpted from local stone boulders are clustered strategically along the boulevard.
As symbols for the natural cycles of dormancy and regeneration, Ciesluk envisions his sculptures "as capsules awaiting the right condition to grow and flourish in their glory."
Célébration de la Croissance
«L’œuvre de Karl Ciesluk célèbre le processus continu de la croissance et du renouvellement et, comme tel, il a introduit ces concepts dans une série de sculptures en forme de cosses et de plantes dans le cadre de la réfection de l’avenue King-Edward.
Des lis et des crosses de fougère élégants poussent de tiges de métal comme s’ils sortaient du béton en dessous. Des cosses géantes sculptées dans des pierres locales sont rassemblés en grappes de façon strategique le long du boulevard.
En tant que symboles des cycles naturels de dormance et de régénération, Ciesluk voit ses sculptures «comme des capsules attendant les conditions idéales afin the pousser et de s’épanouir dans toute leur splendeur.»
