A Tangential View of Eglinton West
Rhonda Weppler and Trevor Mahovsky
Installed August 2023
Bronze with a dark brown patina
Located at Castle Knock Rd & Eglinton Ave W (Northeast side)
This sculpture - A Tangential View of Eglinton West - presents a frozen perspective of both sides of Heddington to Avenue Road on a New Year's Day.
Capturing the constellations overhead, the bronze wedge viewing device invigorates a sculptural still, in the form of a bronze tourist marker. As the city changes around it, the streetscape inside the sculpture will remain still.
The inside of the device simulates a view of Eglinton West at night, as the moonlight reflects on the structure it will appear to light up, giving the scene a gentle, dream-like feel.
