December 10, 2019: Education is the New Buffalo, Calgary

 

I was intrigued by this work of art, created by Lionel Peyachew, which is prominently displayed in Calgary's new Central Library.

Historically the key to survival on the prairies was a successful buffalo hunt.  Today the key to success is a good education.  Peyachew has used welded steel letters and numbers to construct a an icon that combines past and present tools for survival.
