Description of work

In this small "pocket plaza" dwarfed by the surrounding buildings, Baden has created two sculptures for plaza visitors to sit on, touch, and explore. One is a large patched aluminum cloud-like form, another resembles a vertical lily pad. Seated at each sculpture, the viewer's field of vision is confounded by the artwork which blocks or frames the views, echoing the effect of the surrounding built environment. One slot frames the lions at the top of the Terry Fox Memorial.

Artist statement
Baden makes " sculptures that engage the physical capabilities and habits of the viewer." This series of sculptures capitalizes "on the viewer's physical inertia and exertion."
