This sculpture, Communications, by artist Hayden Davies was commissioned by Bell Canada and is found at Bell Trinity Square on Bay St. I quite like it but have to admit I would have preferred a brighter colour, maybe red?
I guess an artist can name their work whatever they think it is, but it really does not communicate much to me. Perhaps more color would help. I am thinking different shades of one color on each bar. Blue would be my choice. Thanks for sharing, it gives us something interesting to think about Have a wonderful day!
A brighter color would be nice for this. I wonder if whoever commissioned it wanted it to be more understated, like the colors around it. "Communications?" It kind of looks to be a representation of how people in the U.S. are communicating these days.
Claudia (above) probably has the right interpretation, but I wouldn’t necessarily have thought about communication if it weren’t by the Bell building (and if I didn’t see the name of it ). It looks industrial in that color.
...help me, what is it saying?
ReplyDeleteRed would have been fabulous against that background Pat, but perhaps too bright for the position 😀
ReplyDeleteHello, It is a nice sculpture. I think a brighter color would attract more attention. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you wonder about a name

I have to agree with you. A brighter color would make it pop! Interesting sculpture.
ReplyDeleteYes... RED for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt would click a bit more. I remember seeing this one the last time I was out there.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I am smart enough to understand this abstract work. Perhaps one could get kicked through the goal posts of life? Yes, red would work.
ReplyDeleteAs Tom said, what is it saying. I vote red for this piece too, at least people would see it and ask questions, maybe. :)
ReplyDeleteI kind of like it, too, and I am OK with the color. Do you get why it is called Communication?

ReplyDeleteYep, red would be your color! I'm thinking a rainbow of colors!
