Description of work
Large bronze maple leaves create a continuous path for a stream of water to flow from a circular pool above to a rectangular pool below. The leaves take on a turquoise patina from water flowing over them.
Artist statement
"The site of Bayshore was once part of an indigenous forest with towering conifers and Bigleaf Maples. The view north, towards the current site will be framed by Red Maples (Acer rubrum) planed on Georgia Street. … From the beginning, Douglas Senft has envisioned large-scale leaves 'floating' on the water. Water in the top pool, welling up over the surface of a leaf, flowing across it's surface, falling from one leaf surface to the next, each acting as the carrier for the water as it cascades down to the lower pool." - project statement, 2001
