The sculpture is inspired by an existing statue of General James Wolfe, sculpted by John Massey Rhind in 1898. General Wolfe was a British army general who lead the British army to victory over the French army during the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759. From a distance, Wolfe and the Sparrows is just a traditional monument which is cast in bronze. But as you move closer, it is revealed to be different. A flock of sparrows explodes from the figure, distorting Wolfe’s head and shoulders. Rhind’s original piece is transformed with sparrows, a bird species native to England, General Wolfe’s place of birth. This public art offers a new perspective on how traditional monuments reflect and celebrate moments from our history. 藝術裝置名稱：Versus 藝術家: Craig Le Blanc (The White Studio), Mentee Artist - Kathryn Blair 地點: New Brighton Athletic Park. 130 Ave. and 52 St. SE.
