Girl In A Wetsuit

Well it’s exactly what the name says… a well weathered bronze girl in a wetsuit gazing out across the water toward the lions gate bridge. She has a wonderful patina or oxidation that shows her age and how long she’s been sitting out there on the rock just chillin’. She’s not very talkative and doesn’t eat ever. She actually kind of looks like she’s naked but I guess if you like swimming as much as she does you’d probably even go naked every once in a while. Alas, you don’t have to shield your children’s eyes from a possible flashing, she’s got her wetsuit on so stand there and reflect and try to figure out what she’s gazing and thinking about, because her lips are sealed and she’s not telling.

Cool sculpture

One of many many landmarks in Stanley Park. This one seems to draw me to it just as much as the Inukshuk at the other side of the park. Historians, and myself, will tell you that this sculpture by Elek Imredy was placed on June 9, 1972; a life-​sized bronze statue. But that won’t explain exactly what the Girl In A Wetsuit is, what she means, or how she makes people feel.
Rain or shine, there she sits, diving mask perched atop her head. As if she is waiting for the sun to dry her off, or a diving friend to join her.
Often thought of as a mermaid, this lady has grace and poise. She is quietude.
