Regina Lace, Saskatchewan

DrFumblefinger 2/12/215:00 AM

An interesting piece of art is Stephan Braithwaite and Douglas Bamford’s Regina Lace. It was completed in 2009 as part of a public art work project, and is a two part sculpture celebrating the immigrant history of Regina.

1) The west facing portion is a monolith that appears to be a massive pamplet filled with stories. The piece is actually steel plating, a lace pattern worked into its borders. Sitting at its base is a young African immigrant.

2) On the east side are nine bronze figures cast from residents of Regina, representing a variety of backgrounds symbolizing the mixed cultural diversity of the city.

I thought it was an interesting piece. It's installed in front of Regina's City Hall.
