Kinetic Sculpture

Underfoot explores the realm between what is clearly visible above the surface and that which lies beneath. 

The environment is not always what it seems. While the routine removal of litter from the streets of our city may provide the illusion that we are worthy caretakers, this piece suggests otherwise. Underfoot offers the notion that a more grave environmental situation, not always clearly visible, lies behind the façade of our ‘green’ city. 

The Underfoot project has grown from the concerns of a group of young people for their environment along with their interest in contemporary art and its capacity to begin a dialogue amongst a large segment of the public through Scotiabank Nuit Blanche. The design of the piece is a product of many hours of research, discussion and planning at Mary Ward C.S.S., a Scarborough High School.

The Mary Ward Art Collective is a team of young artists deeply committed to using their creative practice to effect change in the world.
