Warren Carther Winnipeg Airport Sculpture Installation, Oct 3 2011

“Aperture”

a glass sculpture by Warren Carther commissioned for the new

Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson Airport

How to describe it:

It’s a carved and sandblasted blue glass sculpture lit from beneath and within by coloured LEDs.

When approaching it from the security check in, where all passengers pass through,

the aperture created by the piece frames the prairie landscape seen through the windows of the departure lounge.

Quite lovely.

This was the day the protective sandblasting tent was removed.

 

 

There was some sandblasting. So a tent was needed.
