Art Under My Nose

There is a patch of CPR land under the south end of the Burrard Bridge that's been empty for as long as I've lived in Vancouver.  It makes for a convenient shortcut when coming over from the west end to Granville Island and I have no idea how many times I've passed through this area heading from  one point to another.  A couple of months ago I noticed what look to be the remains of an outdoor sculpture from Granville Island.  I've even posted photos of it here a couple of years ago with one of my friends posing with it.

I figured someone must of vandalized the work and left a big piece of it under the bridge.  Then over the last few weeks it seemed someone had adopted the remains and was remaking it into another art project.

Well I was wrong.  It turns out that the artist,  Nicole Dextras is responsible for all of the work  and the bridge site is a new eco-art project named, BELONGING: sous le pont.

So here are some photo's of the work.

 

The work has been changing over the last few weeks and should be up for a few more.  So head under the bridge and check it out.
