An environmental artwork entitled earthgrove inhabits the live-work development, Solo District in Burnaby, BC. Conceived and planted as two clusters of ‘timber totems’, each grove enhances its environs as luminous landmarks. Created from weathering plate steel, each totem offers a waterjet-cut roll-formed skein of regional flora and fauna. Comprised of two mirror-image groupings (one located at the SE corner of Lougheed & Rosser and the other within Solo District Central Park), earthgrove functions as a binary commentary on nature and culture. As ecological sentinels, they mark a time and place of life in our Anthropocene epoch. Though the timbers may initially read as decorative scrims from a distance, upon closer examination certain plants and animals can be clearly identified. Each timber is a section of a larger design organized as a mural of Pacific Northwest biota. To aid in this taxonomy, the viewer can access the website www.earthgrove.net via smartphone. Here one can find a map of the mural with links for individual plants and animals that correlate to incised totem imagery.
