This series of statues are part of a larger art installation in the Queen Elizabeth II Courtyard at City Hall.
The statues, which look like copper covered with verdigris, are not complete...they only show the front half, or one side of the person...the rest of the statue is an empty, ragged void. When you first see the installation (created by Canadian artists Stephen Braithwaite and Douglas Bamford), you don't notice that the statues are only half there...it's only when you get closer do you see the whole picture. Apparently they are cast from molds of real people too!
For information about Regina Lace, visit the city's website and read about the project under Culture & Arts.
