Description:
Cast in aluminum and perched atop andesite columns ranging in height from 11 to 14 feet, three ravens are captured in flight. Each of the ravens is mounted on a bearing system and rotates gently in a strong breeze, giving the sculpture a kinetic element so that the birds constantly change their relationship with each other.
Eric Robertson is a Vancouver based installation artist. He graduated with honours at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design and holds a Masters of Fine Arts from Concordia University.
