Chilean sculptor Francisco Gazitua, above left,  joined City Councillor Mike Layton in Liberty Village yesterday afternoon for the official unveiling of Perpetual Motion, a monumental steel sculpture that celebrates the area’s industrial heritage.

The sculpture is a gift from developer CanAlfa Liberty Village Homes and is part of the City’s Percent for Public Art program. “Parks and monuments like this are what help transform a development into a neighbourhood,” said the Councillor. Gazitua, a master sculptor and member of the Belgian Royal Academy of Arts, said he was delighted to see one of his pieces “find a home in Toronto.”
