Muttart CANservatory: the Food Pyramid

The Colosseum. The Taj Mahal. The Great Pyramids. Blocks. As long as people have had hands, they have been stacking things on top of other things.

In the spirit of stacking things, and as an homage to Peter Hemingway’s iconic river valley landmark, Edmonton’s Muttart Conservatory, McElhanney is constructing “The Muttart CANservatory”. This food-can sculpture pays tribute to the real Muttart, and to the beauty of its surrounding environment.

The landmark’s namesake, Gladys and Merrill Muttart, were well known for supporting charitable organizations. Like Mr. and Mrs. Muttart, McElhanney has a strong tradition of giving back and Caring for our Communities. We wanted to follow in their footsteps by creating this sculpture and supporting a fantastic cause: the Edmonton Food Bank and the many people who rely on their services.

Some people use steel. Some people use bricks. We just love cans!
