WATER GUARDIANS
by Susan Point
In Surrey’s new Hazelgrove
Park in East Clayton, a giant
red umbrella stands as a focal
point. This alumnium sculpture
made by Susan Point is inspired
by water and frogs, one of the
artist’s favourite creatures.
Songs sung by frogs have
always been the indicators of
the changing seasons to First
Nations people of the Pacific
Northwest. In Water Guardians,
the frogs are welcoming the
rain that falls through the holes
of the umbrella as rain ensures
their survival.
