Event Description:

This spectacular and monumental installation by Lethbridge-based artist Catherine Ross, is made up of hundreds of starfish, each individually cast in aluminum and mounted on thin threaded steel rods.

Seven hundred and fifty shimmering starfish float on a wavy, tightly-knit surface that looks like a gently shifting island. The interlocking repetitive pattern of starfish seems like a glittering, overarching fabric or skin. While the undulating surface is evocative of the coulees in the Oldman River valley that the artist sees from her home, it is also reminiscent of drifts of snow, clouds, waves and the seabed. At once landscape, seascape and skyscape, it is simultaneously a dreamscape magically transformed by glinting reflections of light. Because of its huge scale and irregular configuration, the viewer is compelled to walk around the work, drawn into its mysterious and contemplative sphere. The effect of Stella Mere is theatrical, mesmerizing and unforgettable.

Stella Mere took three years to complete and the help of over 20 people. In 2008, the artist donated Stella Mere to the Glenbow Museum.

Hours:  Monday - Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm; Sunday, 12 pm - 5 pm
