East Kiwanis Place – Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
This park combines public art, sculpture, and placemaking elements to make a lively, if a little bit idiosyncratic place.
The mural is a focal point. These is a trompe l’oeil effect with vistas vanishing in the distance, and a staircase seemingly busting through a broken wall.
This bulletin board is for official postings. The base has oversized buttons, referring to the “Fabric District” in which the park is located.
Finally, the primary sculpture is a draping study on a headless form. This is the final reference to the Fabric District and a focal point as people approach the space.
