The Prince's Marbles

An Auspicious Find

Artist – Lori Sobkowich

An Auspicious Find, by Lori Sobkowich, is located in a pathway intersection between the pedestrian overpass on Memorial Drive and the Jaipur Bridge NW near Eau Claire market in downtown Calgary.

An Auspicious Find consists of four pixilated images, created with approximately 15,000 glass marbles captured in perforated and riveted steel, of flora and fauna set on stone columns. The theme encompasses the ecological aspects a visitor to Prince's Island might encounter - water, air and land. The images themselves are a contemporary version of the traditional stained glass panel, making the changing direction and quality of the natural light as much an element of the sculpture as the glass, metal and stone.
