I thought the weathering (deterioration?) was part of the artist's original vision, so I hope he's on board with the restoration. I am surprised that the article does not bother to mention the artist, Ed Zelenak. Somebody needs to get before + after pics!
Contrary to the reports on CTV, no restoration work happened last week, so I was still able to get some "before" shots on Sunday evening.
The restoration is now underway. The sculpture should look brand new (I.e. shiny a bright red) when the work is finished this week. I haven’t seen any details of how the restoration is being done - some sort of acrylic finish or just a coat of paint, or something else.
