"Legacy (the mud beneath our feet)"

There is a lot of art sprinkled about the Evergreen Brick Works site including a lot of graffiti but also some great murals and this wonderful representation of a pair of hiking boots by artist David Hind, made using reclaimed materials. It is a tribute to the geologist A. P. Coleman who explored the site during the 1920s and discovered a new interglacial period which came to be known as the Don Formation and which was laid down 120,000 years ago.

  5. They do look like old boots! Love it! The area looks a bit overgrown, though ... is that the way it's supposed to be or is that purposely being let go back to a more natural state?
