How it got made
The brief, the room, the frame.
It was Edify’s design issue, and Kim wanted to get out of the studio. I suggested the ETS transit garage on Fort Road, where I’d photographed the 53 Degrees 30 North sculpture for the Edmonton Arts Council, because I loved the building’s walls on their own. Getting in took approval from the Arts Council and the garage supervisor, and we all wore reflective vests. We had about twenty minutes with each architect, and I pushed the colour further than I usually go, to match Jill’s wardrobe. They needed it.
