Wild In The City
These wild creatures were found in a tiny parkette tucked in between buildings at Bloor & Church St where many office workers eat their lunch. The steel sculptures are by artist John McEwen whose work I have shown you several times (click on the McEwen label below) in particular the wonderful sleeping teddy bear in the Wychwood Park neighbourhood. This installation is titled "Patterns For The Tree Of Life" and was installed in 1989. There is actually one more wolf and some tree cutouts in the park but I couldn't get them all into 1 shot.

He does good work! I like this pair.
What an interesting find! I like this type of art.
The artist found a nice way to insert them on the urban environment. ;-)
I like these a lot Pat, perfect place for them in a park.
i like them a lot!!!
LOVE his work!
Nice way to decorate the city.
In a few days, I return;))
I wouldn't want to run into him in the dark.
I like these. They look like they belong in this setting.
I like his work very much!
When Louis Mumford defined what makes a city, he included great public art. Your photo proves him correct.
A great find Pat!
Geez! It's bad enough that we've had "cougar sightings" in the area. Put these out and who knows what panic might arise. :-)
They're kind of effective, Pat. But possibly feeling a little flat?
I'd rather see these animals than the millions of live raccoons...
How cute!
I am afraid of wolves. So dangerous.
I love them! They might look a little menacing at night though.
Lunches with Wolves, eh?!
These are great!
I can hear them by night!
Great find, P

I'd much rather see a sculpted wolf than a real one in the city!
I bet they look worrying at night!
I love it, and I love the way your city supports public art.
These add a bit of fun to the park.
Beautiful wall in the background!
