Here we are – part six of this series. Her and I took to the streetcar line to capture the beautiful art installations that have been placed along certain stops. Here’s what we found:
Spadina Rd
Title: Weather Sampler, 2010
Artist: Judith Schwarz
This is an abstract and playful representation of the varied weather that Toronto experiences. The weather identified include sunspots, heat rising from pavement, overcast, clouds, sleet and rain.
Part five of this many.
Russell Hill
Title: How to observe a painting (or, two planes of stripes, one yellow and one red, drawn in perspective and receding in opposite directions), 2010
Artist: Kristin Peterson
This one said it was an opportunity to document how our elusive pictoral techniques alter how we perceive the world. I know. Totally pretentious. Plus, who the dude is going to remember that title?
Anyways, I liked this one because we used to live on Russell Hill Road the summer we both spent in Ottawa. It was a crazy, fast, and hectic summer, and it was awesome.

Dunvegan Road
Title: Meeting, 2010
Artist: Panya Clark Espinal
Ennnnnnh we don’t really remember this one. We did write it down, but it’s a bit indecipherable, and in addition, He said it wasn’t as interesting as the others. Sorry!
Part three of a million. Click here for more streetcar art.
Avenue Road
Title: Scenic Route, 2010
Artist: Carlo Cesta
This one I like more in the concept as compared to the actual art. It’s a cool idea, and yes, it looks cool too, I think I would just like it more if there was colour incorporated.
The second entry on He and I’s massive walk down St. Clair Avenue to capture the interesting public art on the streetcar stops – we made it!
Deer Park Crescent
Title: Constructions, 2010
Artist: Cybele Young
This one was pretty cool. It was all about paper constructions that came from a walk around the area. It’s also the streetcar stop right across from my first apartment in Toronto, at 64 St. Clair Avenue West. That was a beautiful apartment, but it had mice, and for a girl that owned rats, that was not cool. Not cool.

Here we are – part one of this series. Last weekend, He and I took to the streetcar line to capture the beautiful art installations that have been placed along certain stops. Here’s what we found:
Yonge Street
Title: Meadow, 2010
Artist: Peter Bowyer
The blurb for this piece told us that it was a pastoral civic ornament – a “moment of floral expansiveness for a busy street.” Well, he got the busy street part right!
