Regina Gateway

Regina Gateway is a monumental public artwork marking entry into the city of Regina. Aligned precisely north–south along a primary route at the city’s edge, the sculpture comprises 17 monolithic forms that rise and fall in a sweeping arc across the landscape. Constructed of powder-coated and mirror-polished steel, it is composed to capture the shifting prairie sky and trace the sun’s path.

Each form is set at a distinct angle, casting rhythmic patterns of light and shadow that extend across the ground through winter and retract toward spring, until at the summer solstice no shadow is cast. Calibrated to Regina’s latitude and longitude, the work registers daily and seasonal cycles, linking the movement of the sun to the experience of place.

The form draws from local histories and the prairie horizon, recalling the skeletal spine of the plains bison and the cultural origins of Wascana. At once grounded and expansive, the sculpture connects sky and landscape through reflection and alignment.

While legible at the scale of the roadway, the work also invites close engagement. As it sweeps toward the ground, it becomes inhabitable, encouraging pedestrians to gather, sit, and move through the piece.
