Wave Side

Description

Responsive to the proximity of Lake Ontario, Wave Side is an architectural intervention that  transforms this building into the bow of a ship moving through water and creating a wake of  stainless steel waves. The artwork also references the ribs of a ship; the shape of the waves are  inspired by ship curves: a drafting tool used for the design of boats.  

Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins are Toronto-based artists who work collaboratively in  sculpture, installation and mixed media. They have exhibited in Canada, the United States,  Europe and South America. 

Waveside was commissioned by Plazacorp Investments Limited, under the direction of art  consultants Rina Greer and Catherine Williams, as part of the City of Toronto’s Percent for Art programme.
