Carousel

Carousel is a large abstract mural created with acrylic paints and protected with a topcoat. It is located within the new Borden Park Pavilion on the west wall. The pavilion’s shape resembles a carousel, which is inspired by the history of the park as a former fairground. 

Through the layering of bright colours and shapes with lots of movement, the artist’s intent is to capture the spirit of vitality and enthusiasm. Just as a park becomes a place for collective imaginations to flourish, the mural echoes this sentiment. 

The abstracted shapes incorporate imagery if swings, carousels, and roller coasters. The viewer can interact visually with the work as he or she circles around the building.
