DescriptionThe title of this sculpture, Nordkyn, refers to an island in Lake Huron and the gently floating geometry of its folded, blue painted steel recalls the landscape of a distant island. Robert Murray is one of the most significant contemporary Canadian sculptors of his generation. He is internationally recognized for his twisted metal works which connote both lightness and substantiality.
