The Trail Commuters

“As Mississauga continues to grow at an urban scale, there is even a more pressing need for a green form of transportation. This artwork promotes alternative commuting methods and breaking daily driving habits.

Flann O’Brien’s “The Third Policeman” (1940) is one of our initial literary precedents for the transportation art installation. The novel is about people evolving into live bicycles – half-human and half-bicycles. Flann explains that as we bike, our personalities start to mix with the personalities of the bicycle – “the interchanging of the atoms”. It is incredible how the novel still rings true to this day about the human relation with not only bicycles, but other forms of commuting methods such as scooters, wheelchairs, and ambulation; you eventually become dependent on it as a primary means of transportation, especially if your city is encouraging this form by creating multiple safe trails and bikeways, such as the Lake Wabukayne Trail.

The installation shows the figures migrating from one side to another. The shadows of the figures create a second environment, mirroring the movement. By illustrating the commuter and their commuting method as one, the artwork promotes Meadowvale’s growing active transportation infrastructure.”

Living Root Bridge

“There is an irony to Meadowvale – meadow (grassland) and vale (valley). It recalls a memory of the rural landscape. Now, many plants and trees are buried in concrete and asphalt, while the animals sneak through the city’s dark crevices. Residents of Mississauga’s Meadowvale frequently spot foxes, coyotes, raccoons, opossums, rabbits, and skunks roaming their streets at night.

We were inspired to create a living-root-bridge over the loud and busy Derry Road, to promote the existence of Meadowvale’s wildlife and plant species.

From afar, the artwork looks as if the bridge is swallowed by roots, branches, wildflowers, and vines. As you walk closer and examine the intricate details of the artwork, faces of animals start to unravel. Drawn by a need to bring nature back to the city, the artwork beautifies the bridge and the surrounding environment with an immersive interplay of light and shadow and the language of camouflage.

The work serves as a reminder to residents to be welcoming. Many of Meadowvale’s inhabitants come from elsewhere, and they, like the animals, seek a better life in the city. Metaphorically, Meadowvale must continue to keep its doors open to nature, to newcomers, and to new opportunities.”

Full Circle

Inspired by the graceful acrobatic masquerade dance-theatre of Igbabonelimhin from Edo culture, Nigeria, this piece invites viewers to see themselves reflected in the masquerade’s face. It is more than a mask; it is an invitation to recognize the possibility of transformation in their own lives, just as the artist has transformed these light pole banners.

“Banners have long served as tools for signaling and informing the public. As an art director in the advertising and marketing communications industry, I contributed to the creation of vinyl waste through my designs. In a twist of fate, the vinyl banners repurposed in this sculpture are the same ones used to display my art during Mississauga’s 2022 Banner Program. This full-circle transformation—from generating vinyl waste to repurposing it—aims not only to demonstrate how material waste can be diverted from landfills, but also to inspire awareness, mindfulness, and deeper meaning through the act of creation.” -Ai

Night Party by Tom Dean

Tom Dean’s art plays upon the tensions between ordinary and mythical, with works varying in scale from miniature to monumental, their subject matter ranging from familiar, everyday objects to classical icons. His epic subjects allude to the dream world of the psyche and matters of the soul, but always reside in the intensely material world of desire and the body. The artist’s work eludes categories. He has made paintings, videos and multiples, but is best known for his sculpture.

Ode to Ashes by Jill Anholt

Ode to Ashes is an active, playful and dynamic landmark for the Carmen Corbasson Community Centre in Mississauga. Ode to Ashes honors the memory and experience of the rapidly disappearing Ash Tree. The work captures the unique characteristics of this important local tree, including its changing colours throughout the seasons and the experience of its leaves gently fluttering in the wind.

Ode to Ashes is an intergenerational artwork that creates a link between the past and the present, seeking to pique memories of seniors from the center next door and sparking curiosity in new generations.

Flowing Together by Ryan Smeeton

“Through this mural, it was my goal to not only create a beautiful, welcoming landmark but to also inspire an appreciation for the recreational services offered at the Tomken Twin Arena.

Furthermore, in research for this project, I was inspired by the abundance of pathways and trails in Mississauga, as well as the proximity of the arena to Little Etobicoke Creek and its wildlife. I personally believe that nature plays a huge role in our wellbeing, and therefore maintaining a connection to nature is extremely important. This piece is ultimately about active living, access to nature, and connection.

I sought to convey these themes through multiple images layered together in a collage style and unified via colourful, flowing abstract sections. The figurative sections are heavily layered, with various transparencies, intended to create a sense of depth. Throughout the design, there is a thin light-blue wandering line. This line is meant to represent a wandering trail, as a nod to Mississauga’s many recreational trails and pathways. It also represents the idea of a journey, a metaphor in which each viewer can find a different meaning.”

Fragments of You and Me

“In some hopefully not-too-distant future time, the problem of plastic waste will have been solved. Our 20th and 21st-century production of unimaginable quantities of such waste will likely make no sense to the people in that future. Mississauga’s J. C. Saddington Park, for example, was created out on the lake as a landfill of buried waste. The objects that make up that waste reflect our current yesterdays, todays, and tomorrows. In the future, however, citizens of that green earth will discover these objects — we have two empty pedestals from long-gone statues to consider here. A local authority has provided three plaques to help those citizens understand these objects, and to understand that distant past — our present — to understand the story of plastic.” – Studio Wombling
