Spinning Chandelier

The work is located in a formerly underutilized space, hanging from beneath the Granville Street Bridge above the intersection of Beach Avenue and an unnamed alley.

The cycle involves the work lighting up, lowering to its lowest point, rotating for four minutes, slowing down, stopping, and rising back to its original place.

[1] The budget for the artwork was initially $1.2 million, the minimum amount required for Westbank Corp. to invest, as it had rezoned a space of over 100,000 square feet (9,300 m2).

The city waived Westbank Corp.'s requirement for public art in three other developments, as funds were pooled into the chandelier project.

That work was inspired by an experiment by scientist Isaac Newton, involving a half-filled bucket of water suspended from an unwinding rope.
