Vancouver artist Ron Terada’s light-based artwork for the Central Library takes its cue from an era when signs were seen as grand iconic landmarks. The work is a reference to Vancouver’s neon past, when the famous BOW-MAC sign and legendary Woodward’s W reigned over the city’s skyline. Its location by the library touches on, in a poetic way, the use of words and language as boundless and imaginative - a catalyst for multiple meanings.
