Comet

Originally made in 1983, years of Calgary's harsh climate had not been kind to the sculpture and it was restored by the artist in 2020. The nucleus of the comet is a swirling ball of steel, 15 feet high above the ground and will gently spin in the wind. The tail of the comet is a broad piece of steel that elegantly arcs and ends in a rudder to steer its path while it hurdles through space. Following the repairs, the sculpture was painted an elusive deep space colour with metallic shimmer inspired by a piece of covellite rock the artist carries in her pocket.
