Description

The 13-foot high cast aluminum sculpture sits atop the toboggan hill at Cambrian and Greenbank roads, balanced on one of its five points. As if fallen from the sky, the artwork creates a bridge between the immensity of the celestial universe and our place on earth. Falling Star will shimmer during the night from the hundreds of holes emanating light- making reference to the celestial bodies and constellations above.
