Three pieces of sculpture named “Cultivate” have been unveiled at Harmony, the new Bordeaux Development and Qualico community just to the northwest of Springbank Airport.
The sculptures were design-built by Heavy Industries – a Calgary art and architectural design company specializing in design, fabrication and installing custom features that is enjoying being part of the marketing plans of a number of developers.
Harmony contracted Ryan Bessant, president of Heavy, to provide a significant piece of public art. The end result was a three-piece 27,000-pound sculpture that was designed by artist Dan Corson, a sculptor who has worked with Bessant on many other projects.
Heavy Industries is looking forward to the unveiling of another impressive piece of work: a sculpture that forms the entrance feature at the roundabout into the new ATCO Campus on 59th Avenue and Crowchild Trail SW.
