Listening Ears
Block 31, City of Toronto
Artist: Georgia Dickie
Gallery / Client: Cooper Cole Gallery
A public artwork for artist Georgia Dickie, Listening Ears is a cluster of three gently tapering corten steel poles supporting a collection of idealized satellite dishes
Sixpenny provided design, fabrication and installation of these sculptures
-
Stainless steel internal structure
Formed and welded corten steel skins to create taper
Spun corten steel dishes
-
We worked with the artist to choose a fabrication method which would perfectly meet the aesthetic intent while providing the required structural capacity and a long life
The dishes were spun from 1/8” corten steel
All other components were cut, formed, welded and finished by Sixpenny
Installation was completed in 2019 and took 4 hours
