If the sun comes out and things warn up a bit you might want to spend some time walking along the Naval Promenade and taking in the public art now in place.
It is a combination of Indigenous work and items from the Dan Lawrie collection
A Waterfront Sculpture Trail with an interesting mix of some work that is a delight to the eye. Does anyone know what the flag markings on the left mean ?
There is a story behind the Lawrie Collection – we are working on that.
Having a woman putting on lipstick in front of those mirrors would make it complete.
This is a fine piece of work.
The Indigenous art is included in the collection spread out along the Naval Promenade
The flags: BWST…. Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail
The comment might be a little confusing. We did a story on some of the really interesting public art on the Naval Promenade. Several of the piece were on stands that had flag symbols on them. I can remember some of my Morse code but have long forgotten the flag definitions – I was a radar person – not signals.
Perry knew – or maybe he looked it up – whichever – the flags stand for BWST Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail.
Thanks Perry
