Katharine Harvey
Toronto, Ontario
Katharine Harvey will suspend a "quilt" of recyclable plastic from the north side of the Ontario
Power Generation Building, suggesting a suspended waterfall. The quilt will be made from recyclable plastic
bottles and shaped into sheets of “falling water” by containing them in monofilament nylon
netting and sewing the netting together into a quilt. Spotlights will light the installation from below
so that from a distance, the audience will anticipate water but will instead find plastic trash, which
has been magically transformed by theatrical coloured lighting to create the impression of falling water.
