RainCatcher is a public art work which is reminiscent of a household watering vase. Artist Noel Harding suggests that the Edmonds Community Centre is a place of nurture and care, a centre that tends to its community’s needs. As such, the artist emphasizes re-growth, resilience and sustainability through this artwork, which incorporates stainless steel and Douglas fir timber. The sculpture’s abstract metal forms create a canopy of foliage that collects water when it rains. The trickle and flow of water animates RainCatcher and emphasizes the importance of water as a resource to life, supporting the plants that complement the sculpture’s base. Artist’s Statement: RainCatcher is a polished steel vase emphasizing nature and nurture as it tilts to pour water. Water trickles down the dented vessel as it mirrors its history. The vase holds 3 tall red cedar branches that support a canopy of metal foliage. The foliage is designed to collect rain and magnify the volume flowing from the spout. Native plants grow in the garden at the sculpture’s base.
