September 2018 - Toronto ON

I attended a Heritage Toronto plaque unveiling this week at Metro Hall and as I left I walked past this piece of art. I worked in this area so it is not the first time I've taken photos of it, but still had to take another one even though I didn't know what the challenge would be today.

Created by Micah Lexier, it consists of 25 custom-made aluminum ladders of various heights. The rungs of each ladder holds different words that have been waterjet-cut out of a bar of aluminum. Each of the 350 separate rungs is a word selected from the "Synopsis of Categories" section of Roget's Thesaurus. The work merges an image of physical construction (ladders) with the elements of intellectual construction (words).

Gives new meaning to "looking up" a word!

One Word Sunday

One Word Sunday is hosted by Debbie at Travel With Intent.

2 July: Inclined

There is a sculpture of random words on the rungs of multiple ladders inclining against the window and wall in Metro Hall on King St. W.

If I was so inclined I would see if the word incline was on the sculpture.

ABC Wednesday

April 2016 - Toronto ON

Starts with V

Metro Hall has this sculpture of ladders that I walked past every day when I was working in that area. There isn't any title or description posted.

We were passing through recently on our way to lunch and I stopped to get photos and then thought "wonder if there is a V word"? We found VIRTUE.

I also looked up the sculpture and found this:

Week's favourite - spotted set-up outside Union Station.

Sunshine - Danforth pansies just say sunshine.
