Levels
The Work
Levels was inspired by Mayan ruins. The idea behind the work was that, like the discovery of Mayan ruins by European explorers, the visitor would unexpectedly come upon it, thereby providing a sense of discovery. The piece, made of concrete, was designed to be sat on, as the artist’s creations are always about function.
The Project
The artwork was commissioned for the Kelowna International Festival of the Arts sculpture competition.
The Artist
Judson Beaumont was born in Saskatoon, SK in 1960. He came to Vancouver, BC to study art at Capilano College, completing his studies at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. He graduated from the 3-D program in 1985 with honours and that same year founded Straight Line Designs Inc., creating one-of-a-kind furniture pieces.
