MILKWEED PATCH at A Space Gallery, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 1999 |
|
|
|
|
|
Milkweed Patch was designed to occupy a variety of spaces, but the configuration at A Space Gallery proved to be ideal. Wooden pillars gave the elements a place to "settle", and unobtrusively divided the space. A moveable wall (between A and D) helped the wooden screen to fully perform its function of creating a path for the viewer. |

|
The installation is available for exhibition or sale, as a whole. Contact the artist for more information. |
The installation occupied an area of about 31 feet by 40 feet, or 9.5 meters by 12.3 meters. |
