Artist statement

The art work called “Cadenza” was inspired by its location next to Vancouver’s Symphony Hall. Three-dimensional suspended coloured glass elements embellish the façade of the parking garage. The rhythm of the undulating glass, emphasized by the vivacious colouring, can be seen as a visual representation of the structure of cadenzas in music.
