Spanish artistJaume Plensarecently unveiled a giant new sculpture calledWonderlandat the base of Calgary’s tallest tower, The Bow.
The wire mesh piece stands 39 feet high and resembles a young girl’s head.
(It was actually inspired by a real girl in Spain.)
Interestingly, the sculpture has two entrances so that visitors can walk inside of it.
Wonderlandis sure to be quite the experience for visitors or, more specifically, photographers.
Said bloggerMike Morrison, I got a chance to explore the sculpture and I was really impressed.
My one piece of advice would be to definitely explore it at night.
Especially with The Bow in the background.
I will definitely be back…with a better camera.
Wonderlandis the first of two public artworks, by Plensa, that will be displayed in downtown Calgary.
The second will be a bronze piece titledAlberta’s Dream.
It will be a self-portrait of Plensa, cast in bronze, hugging a tree.
