An “artifact” I developed for a studio project at Colorado State University to address the issue of water loss/water balance in Colorado. Spatial datasets of evapotranspiration rates in Colorado were compared with annual rainfall values to generate this 3d model.

180 Kent Public Art Comission – ‘NORTHSHORE’ from Eli Rufe on Vimeo.

Winning concept design for a public art installation at 180 Kent Street in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada for the Minto Development Group.

“landLAB and artist Noel Harding were selected as the winning team for a public art commission at 180 kent Street in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada for the private developer Minto. The work, as titled, points outside itself – being a city mind dreaming of the woods. The silhouettes of plantings imagine, identify, and celebrate a symbolic character of the Canadian Wilderness that resonates in a quintessential relation as if holding the reality of Tom Thompson’s “The Jack Pine.” Plant material becomes more than simply landscape as they pay homage to nature itself; celebrated within a grand vessel. Reflective steel becomes the giant trunk of a fallen tree with an extruded branch, renewal in the reality of living trees and grasses protruding – turning (1RPM) in the physical illustration of time. NORTHSHORE is a confirming statement. The meanings are rich in evolution and layering yet succinct and pointed in symbol.”
