An abstract representation of weather patterns experienced in our locale, Weather Sampler is created from simplified geometric shapes that are repeated and reorganized. Sunspots, heat rising from the pavement, overcast days, clouds moving overhead, sleet and rain are presented as poetic diagrams that evoke memories of calm days spent at the beach or turbulent days of wind, rain and snow. The sculpture is installed on top of a bus stop at St. Clair and Spadina.
