October 26, 2011 - A series of 10 stone sculptures have been installed at the new Children’s Garden near the Tai Chi Park at Prince Arthur’s Landing. The work, entitled Balloon Animals, was produced by Paul Slipper and Nadine Stefan, a Vancouver-based artist team. ..
The sculptures depict a herd of 10 balloon animals that have drifted into Marina Park. The height of most sculptures will be at the eye level of the average six year old. The colourful array of stones such as granite from Vermilion Bay have polished, jewel-like surfaces that invite touch and an appreciation of the materials.
“Young viewers are encouraged to investigate the contrasting nature of the material,” said Slipper, referencing the associations typically made between light, airy balloons and hard, solid stone. Their intent was to provide sculptures that have universal appeal.
