LightShed by Liz Magor

Art Depiction of how the waterfront buildings used to look like long before all the condos . Its pretty cool. Wished we had some of these around still .

It is more than a tiny house! Lightshed looks like it is build from cedar planks, but it is actually created from cast aluminum. Take a detailed look… barnacles, mussels and seaweeds can be found. At night, the shed lights up in the Coal Harbour.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ART PIECES. It is constructed mostly of aluminum, this art piece was a gift to the city. It depicts the structures that were formerly located on the waterfront wharf's for service, shelter or for fixing boats. Internal lights on a timer light up the inside at various times, making it feel like someone is inside the glow creates light in the crack by the front door and also in the window. This light, causes the sculpture, to be "a light shed" which is the name.

It caused us to stop, look and ask the question, which is what good art does.

A cabin sitting on columns above ground. It looks better at night than daylight.

Art piece depicting how people lived in old days at the harbor.

There's no denying the shock value of this sculpture when you first set eyes on it. In view of the surroundings, a woodshed or a shack is a surprising sight. The glitz of big and slick yachts behind it makes the contrast quite striking. If this were the intention of the artist, it's totally successful. It may also act as a reminder of the more humble beginnings of this part of Vancouver.

Interesting article piece on boardwalk with excellent views around as well.

Nice sculpture by the water - quite interesting
