Jill Anholt Studio’s Line of Work
Canadian artist Jill Anholt designed ‘Line of Work,’ an installation along the edge of a pedestrian pathway next to the new Vancouver Convention Centre.
The concept for Line of Work is inspired by the "ripple effect" or more specifically the notion that single elements working together can become more than the sum of their parts. The sculpture is composed of a changing series of individual elements that together create a giant wave-form that reaches out towards the sea. The elements grow in both size and reach along the edge of a pedestrian pathway connecting the Vancouver Convention Centre to the Seawall and forming an increasingly protective enclosure; a concept that carries throughout the project from the overall sculptural form, to materiality and construction, and to the organization of the text within the piece.
