The Artwork

It would be impossible to completely capture the Grand River Dam Authority’s influence on the lives and land surrounding it. This terrazzo floor map gives but a miniature glimpse of its reach. Communities are marked by golden marble squares to represent the electrical power the dam provides. Recycled glass and mirror comprise the lake, not just for sparkle, but to represent the GRDA’s commitment to environmentally sustainable practices.

Commissioned by the Grand River Dam Authority.
