Note(s):

"Chance, timing and planning have brought the cultivation of new plants, residents, architecture and even art to the city of Vancouver. Perennials is a sculptural overlay, a botanical metaphor for the constant shifts in natural and cultural landscapes and for the fragility of their survival."

Le titre de l’œuvre, «Make West», provient d’un fragment poétique vieilli apparaissant sur l’une des plaques (murale de l’École bilingue).

Text of the artwork:

Incomplet

Chase not the goose but finf solace
in the downy underlay of her
migrational desire. While we, earth-
bound (in the gravity of progress)
continue to segment our greatest o
mothers into cartesian nomenclatur
her wings cast after-images on ou
rails, roads and ports
What systems, both major and
minor are complicit in this
symphony of locus-notion?

Text theme:

Histoire officielle et non officielle (de Vancouver); géographie urbaine; architecture; emploi de la technologie et du calcul dans la construction de l’Ouest canadien; déplacement de la flore et de la faune à l’aube du progrès

« Make West is an attempt to represent the history of Coal Harbour and, by extension, Vancouver and Western Canada. It does so in the form of a series of shards, or extractions which constitute a game. » -l'artiste
