An imposing tidal wave of patinated copper and steel rises from the ground in this ‘commentary’ on climate change by Canadian Terence McGlade. A natural oxidized verdigris or bluish-green patina appears on the copper along with purple pigment. “I work in beauty. For the last 30 years my artistic practice has revolved around nature and it’s adaptation in the built environment. Our bio filial relationship to nature is only now being explored and is leading to works of art that involve nature in a more profound sense.” Terence McGlade He is a Canadian sculptor, filmmaker and landscape designer.McGlade's work is held in private and public collections including the National Gallery of Canada.
