Groundwork

August 18, 2016

Groundwork
I spotted this art piece while waiting for my Salt Spring Salads*.

We’re looking down at Diana Lynn Thompson’s Groundwork, part of her LANDART collection on display outside Mahon Hall.

If your computing device allows you to zoom in a bit you’ll find lots of man-made items ‘hidden’ in the various areas of the piece.

*Operated by the GISS culinary/cafeteria program, this food truck (between Mahon Hall and the School Board Office) is home to the best super fresh, meal size ($9) salads on Salt Spring! Open from 11:30 to 3:45. The proceeds provide jobs for cafeteria students working at the food truck during the summer—and anything left over goes back into the program to help make it even better!

      It was a bit tricky trying to look straight down on the piece without causing a shadow. Six foot long arms might work!

        Looks much better on a rainy morning! Thank-you so much for trying to capture this.

          Just a grab shot. Perhaps I’ll take on the challenge some rainy day :-)
