Aerodynamic Forms in Space, Steel sculpture at Stanley Park entrance in Vancouver, Canada.
The 35-foot stainless steel sculpture features components resembling a blue elastic band, a red propeller, and adjustable wheels mounted on a display base.
The City of Vancouver commissioned this permanent installation through its Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The sculpture draws inspiration from photographs of misassembled toy glider parts taken by artist Rodney Graham in 1977, connecting childhood memories with monumental art.
Located at the Georgia Street entrance of Stanley Park, the sculpture stands near the Coal Harbour Seawall with multiple transportation options for visitors.
The sculpture incorporates design elements that reference Russian Constructivism and British Modernism while maintaining the appearance of balsa wood through specific paint techniques.
