Watershed wall at Evergreen Brick Works - waterways of Toronto shown through metal pipes and metal pathways with plants.

Ferruccio Sardella, Watershed Consciousness, 2010

This piece by artist Ferruccio Sardella is made of steel, copper, brass, water and plants.

 

Watersheds are areas where all waters drain to a common body of water. “Where is your watershed address?” is the question this installation asks, as it depicts the rivers that flow through city and raises awareness about our extensive ravine system.

 

Toronto’s largest living map; Watershed Consciousness is a living work that looks and behaves differently in each season and responds to the changing conditions of its environment.
