This bronze sculpture by artists Derek Lo & Lana Winkler was commissioned by the WSIB (Workplace Safety & Insurance Board of Ontario) and was installed next to their building on Front St in 2000. It is installed beside a monument to the many workers who have lost their lives in the workplace in Ontario and is quite suitable in that this worker is wearing all the proper safety gear - goggles etc. - as he 'chisels' into the granite wall. A reminder to us all!
Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThe body posture is so realistic!
Great sculpture, I agree with Eyeliquor about the body posture!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see it with the safety gear. ;-)
Have a very good weekend!
I'm impressed. Industrial safety is one of those boring topics that is immensely important but too often taken for granted. Nice to see the company highlight it by sponsoring this unusual sculpture.
ReplyDeleteyes, it is very important to wear required personal protective equipment
