New Brunswick ceramic artist Peter Powning has created two matching 13-foot sculptures for The Residences of College Park at Bay and College, to be unveiled Nov. 2. The pieces incorporate spiralled stainless steel with tumbled shards of glass and LED lights inside. The light will bounce off the glass and shift throughout the day. "We wanted something on the streetscape that was contributing back to the community," says Riz Dhanji, vice-president of sales and marketing for Canderel Stoneridge. The pieces, Mr. Dhanji says, complement the two towers' heights and Art Deco design. Mr. Powning was the winner of the 30th annual Saidye Bronfman award this week.
