Katharine Harvey’s Waterfall wins People’s Choice Award
October 4, 2008
Commissioned for Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, Waterfall drew crowds of around 30,000 on Saturday, October 4. Made of 6,000 lbs of shredded plastic bottles (borrowed from a recycling facility) woven by hand into a giant net, the sculpture was over 20 feet high and 80 feet long. The water effect was achieved by the play of undulating, coloured lights across its surface.
The Nuit Blanche sculpture follows on the heels of another recent Waterfall sculpture, presented on September 18 at the Canadian Art annual Gala dinner and auction.
