Calgary, Alberta, Canada

October 2012

This site-specific Art-in-Transit installation weaves together the physical and symbolic connections between the rivers of Calgary and the Ganges. The new LRT station cuts through the rapidly growing community of Martindale. In context with the adjacent school, the integrated public artwork speaks to the surrounding community, with over eighty percent of Punjabi cultural heritage. Over 400 linear feet of steel “river” panels, combined with terra cotta mosaic, pattern-cut “artifact” and LED lighting extend along the inbound/outbound sound barrier walls opposite the platforms, creating an experience that welcomes residents and appears to move in concert with the train.
