Bronze, 7 feet, 2001
Located at Perron Street,
Downtown St. Albert, Alberta
Saint Albert was the result of a commission to produce a work conveying
lifelong learning and the millennium. Saint Albert the Great fit the
theme perfectly. He was born 800 years before this sculpture’s
creation and became famous for his legendary knowledge of all things.
His bridging of scientific and metaphysical approaches to understanding
seems very contemporary even though the onus of justification has reversed
since his day. This 2/3 scale figure stands atop a time
capsule built into the base.
