Description

Along the Boards pays homage to hockey, our beloved winter sport, with 12 elegant stainless steel cutout figures.  Based on ink drawings created by the artist while observing a women’s hockey game, the figures capture the nuances and body positions unique to hockey.

Christopher Griffin has been creating unique concrete murals and sculptures for many years. His drawing style is inspired by ancient art found on cave walls.
