| Description |
On the fence... Happy Fence Friday everyone! A scene from the “Our Fence” public art installation by Cairn Cunnane, at Bingham Park in Ottawa. Public Art, City of Ottawa. Medium: Stainless steel. Artist: Cairn Cunnane, artist, blacksmith, sculptor. (1) “Cairn Cunnane’s Our Fence (2016) was unveiled to the public during an inaugural event at Ottawa’s Bingham Park on June 4, 2016, as part of the city of Ottawa’s Public Art Program (PAP). Situated in an outdoor landscape, Our Fence is decorated with stylized trees that sprout out to heights of 11.5 to 13 feet at either side of the central entrance gate. Created out of polished stainless steel, the metallic grey fence extends 225 ft., with long linear ripple wave designs underlying vertical posts that are spaced 4 inches apart. The handrail height is 40 inches above the ground, and detailed figures throughout have been executed in a variety of sizes within a mix of over 10 grouped and individual poses. The grouped figures are taller than the average adult spectator at 6ft 6 inches, generating a larger than life visual experience for children viewing them within the park. They blend into the fence with sections of flat curved sheets of metal and lattice-work stylized bodies. The smaller figures are more freely executed as sculptures, giving a playful effect to the overall piece and lending a surprise element to those who realize their presence. The figures are devoid of distinguishing facial characteristics, allowing the average person to imagine themselves in the figures; However each is dressed uniquely with different style hats grounded in the past, suggesting that the figures are meant to illustrate a story.”(2) Sources: (1) Artist’s website.
