Downtown Bike Rack Series, Reflection

Reflection (3 of 4)
Xiaojing Yan, 2010
Laser cut steel

Reflection captures the artist’s first impression of Burlington. In response to the beautiful waterfront, Yan created the design using the iconic chains and concrete piers in Spencer Smith Park. This artwork is part of the Downtown Bike Rack Series - a series of 24 artist designed bike racks installed throughout the downtown core. Beyond providing additional bike parking, the bike racks act as an urban art gallery that citizens can enjoy year-round. In 2010, regional artists were asked to submit designs that reflected either the unique character of downtown or cycling culture. More than 180 original designs were submitted by 75 artists. A volunteer community jury reviewed the submissions and narrowed down the selection to 10 finalists. The public then voted for their favourite designs. The jury received 883 public votes, from which they selected six winning designs.
