Line of work
par Sarah Lacombe on 06/7/2012Line of Work transforms everyday building materials into a powerful yet protecting wave-form that reaches out to the sea. Individual occupations carved into the wood reflect the growing diversity of workers’ specific skills. Each piece tells its own story, yet together they become the story of British Columbia, marking shifts in the evolution of the province and the aspirations of its workforce from industries of the past, to trades of today, to the unfathomable future. Line of work is integrated into the folded green roof of the new Vancouver Convention Centre juxtaposing notions of ascension, aspiration and progress with those of shelter and protection.
