Local artists Charlynne Lafontaine and Ryan Lotecki created 16 aluminium and glass sculptures for the Chinatown and Hintonburg communities as subtle gateways into these unique and special places. The flame-worked glass elements playfully reflect light and colour, encouraging travellers to look skyward and discover the organic sculptural forms enhancing the street lights.
On Somerset Street West towards Hintonburg, the series of sculptures entitled Morphology are formed as if windblown, with the glass elements evolving from a decorative seed pod to an open flower, signifying growth and revitalization. For this series the artists were inspired by the concept of morphology; the study of form and shape.
