Auto Tapestry

Badanna Zack

Auto Tapestry
1993

Following the expansion of the Queen’s Square location in 1993, the Cambridge Library and Gallery held a province-wide competition for the commission of a work of art for the lobby. Of the 40 entries, Toronto-based artist Badanna Zack’s work was selected. The wall-mounted sculpture consists of hundreds of small, laser cut steel automobile images arranged in a pattern suggesting a woven tapestry. The work reflects the historic shift in Cambridge’s industrial landscape from textile to automobile manufacturing. 

 

Medium: automotive paint, laser cut steel
Dimensions
6.1 x 6.1 m
Donor/funder gift credit
Commissioned for Queen's Square, 1993 with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture, Tourism & Recreation, private donations and the Gallery's fundraising efforts for the expansion of the Library and Gallery facility
