Letter Cloud

Letter Cloud is an abstract, suspended kinetic artwork composed of hundreds of aluminum letters hung from a network of rods and cables. It calls to mind printed matter and community demographics. The number of letters used from each alphabet is based on the different languages spoken by the current population of Edmonton. Although it is abstract it also appeals to the individual who recognizes, among the hundreds of characters, one that he or she can be curious or nostalgic about. Letter Cloud also symbolizes possibilities and encourages discovery – it poetically collects stray letters that have floated up to the ceiling and becomes a visual magnet.
