Cottonwood Creek Railing

Artist: Brent Bukowski (Kaslo, BC) Year: 2012.

My preliminary design work focused on the significance of the railway and the strong heritage theme of Nelson??_s downtown core; however, upon visiting the project location, a theme was revealed when a young lad rolled by on his skateboard and I envisioned, chronologically, a sampling of what may have crossed the creek over the last century. The design that followed was a meandering multi-layered assemblage constructed from the wheels and cogs of that which has made the crossing.
