About the Item

This playful and dynamic sculpture by Canadian artist Cynthia McQuillan is interactive and invites viewers to touch it. The four powder coated steel discs (their interiors feature punched out circles) are anchored between two metal rods and sit stacked one atop the other. The discs are painted in bright yellow, blue, and black. Each disc rotates up and down so the colours can easily be changed. “Something three dimensional immediately changes the space around it. The shapes push into the spaces we inhabit, demanding our consideration.” Cynthia McQuillan She studied art at the Central Technical School in Toronto. McQuillan has exhibited both in solo and group shows throughout North America. She is a long-time resident of Prince Edward County, Ontario.

Ice Nebula 3 - polished, geometric, abstract, painted steel sculpture
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This polished, geometric, abstract, painted steel sculpture is by artist Alexander Caldwell. Caldwell’s modern minimalist sculptures have been recognized for their masterful execution and flawless form and color. The Calgary-based artist’s work is often influenced by both nature and science. Ice Nebula is one of a series of pieces inspired by the extraordinary images of space sent to Earth by the Hubble Space Telescope. This tabletop sculpture consists of several stainless steel spheres of different sizes welded together to form a tower-like shape, mounted on a wooden base. Caldwell’s signature paint finish—layers of glossy paint mask the seams of each component so they appear cohesive. The distinctive iridescent paint of Nebula changes color from blue-green to light purple in different light conditions. A nebula is a cloud of gas or dust in outer space. “… The color that transforms the industrial origins of my materials has become so important to the simpler shapes of my new work that it’s as if the metal has become an armature for the paint. “ Alexander Caldwell Alexander Caldwell was born in Whitehorse, Yukon.
