Agassiz Ice by Gordon Reeve (City of Winnipeg Public Art Collection)

Agassiz Ice – Winnipeg Arts Council | Agassiz Ice recalls glacial Lake Agassiz that in prehistoric times covered most of the province of Manitoba. Gordon Reeve has created three large sculptures in stainless steel that evoke icebergs. The smallest of the three was specifically created to be used as a resting spot, low enough for seating. The two larger pieces are placed close together but wide enough apart for people to walk in between, creating an interesting tension in an otherwise wide-open green space. The stainless steel reflects light and the surrounding landscape and so the surface changes continually as the sun appears and disappears and the seasons cycle through summer to spring.
