Muttart Public Artwork

2021

Project Statement

This botanically themed sculpture references the flora of the Muttart Conservatory and offers an organic contrast to its glass pyramids, so prominent in Edmonton's city’s skyline. Through fabrication of this nature-inspired design, Stephanie Jonsson challenges a false dichotomy where humans and nature are binary concepts. 

By reiterating natural forms, deconstructing and reassembling organic order, Jonsson seeks to address a collective estrangement from our origins.

This is when the artwork was being installed - a look at it up close and personal.
