NATURIVIA: 40 MILE CREEK SIDE TRAIL (2012)
Simon Frank, Tor Lukasik-Foss
Outdoor installation of aluminium signs and trail markers
40 Mile Creek runs down the escarpment from Beamers Falls and travels through downtown Grimsby before emptying into Lake Ontario; it connects the Bruce Trail to the Waterfront trail. In partnership with the Art Gallery of Grimsby, this installation was meant to bring attention to a trail of deep historical resonance, but also to comment on both its invisibility and un-walkability due to the urban, residential, recreational, and utilitarian impositions which obscure it.
