Electrical Currents

Water is the life force or the essence of Manitoba and the Northern section of the province is home to some of the strongest and largest hydroelectric developments in North America. In the South we consume electricity without knowledge of the land that is developed and the predominantly First Nations and Metis communities that are deeply affected. As consumers we need to continue to work towards sustainable energy consumption. This sculpture brings these issues to light using glass cast rocks with engraved petroglyphs, the Metis family floral pattern, the chevron water graphics and the abstract water turbine with the overall message that water is sacred and should be consumed and maintained with care.
