Due Process, as described by Sanita Fejzic:
My fascination with Bruce Garner’s “Due Process” is apparently endless. Tall, lean cylinders, with anonymous natural stone faces, take up the majority of the sidewalk besides the Courthouse on Elgin and Laurier. Their presence is immediately felt, yet how many of us overlook this magnificent body of work? They are the archetypes of human justice. At the forefront, the short two figures face the intimidating frontier that stands tall in the background. At centre stage, two figures break face-off, and stand in the middle of those who make up our legal system. There is no divine justice here. The cold bronze, the emotionless faces–-this is human law, systemic and impersonal.
