Nickie Lewis, Port Coquitlam's summer artist-in-residence, is creating similar eco-installations as in Robert Burnaby Park in Burnaby.
An artist known for her twigs and twine sculptures at Robert Burnaby Park in Burnaby is now designing large-scale eco-installations at Port Coquitlam’s Lions Park.
For her PoCo series called Mix and Match Creatures, Lewis will use natural materials found in the Lions Way park for her designs to help educate the public about the human impact on Mother Earth.“Our artist-in-residence program plays a vital role in creating a vibrant community,” said Mayor Brad West in a news release.
The co-owner of The Wizards Makery, Lewis weaved a giant dragon, a sleeping fairy, a non-binary unicorn, a forest guardian, a 25-foot troll and Ewoks, among other fictional and mythological figures, at Robert Burnaby Park during the COVID-19 pandemic.On Thursday, May 16, she’ll give a talk about the project at the city’s Cultural Roundtable.
