"Full Moon" on Yonge St


This is one of my favourite sculptures in Toronto. Located on Yonge St (Toronto's main street), just a block south of the park from yesterday, it was originally installed on Bloor St in 1988 but was moved around the corner several years ago. Now it forms an interesting entranceway as you walk north. Titled "Full Moon", it was created by Wendell Castle, an American furniture artist who is considered one of the fathers of the art furniture movement.

Amidst all the construction in the area I was walking along and saw the brass plaque on the sidewalk, turned around so I could read it, and looked up - voila! - a stunning structure that I had passed under and through , on the very afternoon of the full moon. It made me feel so proud of our city!
