A series of playful, oversized white snowmen complete with hats and carrot noses grace the exterior of The Livmore, a 43-story apartment building in Toronto. Called Born and Raised, the sculptures are nestled close to the building next to the sawtooth-pattern lobby windows. Built of fibreglass with steel rod centre cores, this public art “snow” sculpture won’t melt even in the hottest summer weather!
Eventscape was contracted to engineer, fabricate and install all four sculpture elements. There are three snowmen all made out of heads with various expressions and torsos. The largest of the snowmen, with five spheres, stands 17-feet tall. The two others were built with three spheres each, but one of the sculptures has its head and toque on the ground as if it has toppled off.
