ARTISTS: Paul Reimer and Nathan Siemens
YEAR: 2015
MEDIA: Hand-Forged Iron
DIMENSIONS: 6' high x 12' wide x 18' long
LOCATION: SLP Skatepark, Lethbridge, AB, Canada
PROJECT CONCEPT: Our concept for this project was to bring together three important elements:
A unique and contemporary shape.
A shape that would allow skateboarders to interact with the artwork.
A sculpture that would provide the opportunity to artistically and prominently display the names of the donors who contributed to the SLP Skate Park.
Our philosophy is that a piece of art is an object that requires human interaction. Our intention is to incorporate the impact of the skateboardersʼ use of the sculpture as part of the creative process, both physically and emotionally. Over time, the creativity of the skateboarders will enhance and become part of the creativity of the artwork.
