Cozy Environmental Art
Cozy is a piece of "environmental" art that was created in 2009 by artist Shirley Wiebe.
It is a tree stump covered with woodend disks that were woven together.
Being "environmental", it was meant to disintegrate over time and go back to nature. Every year it deteriorates further and will eventually disappear!
2022 Update: It has nearly all disintegrated back to nature.
The plaque says:
Shirley Wiebe, Cozy, 2009
Cozy takes the form of a large scale afghan, a healing gesture that surrounds and nurtures what remains of this Douglas fir.
This work is part of the Stanley Park Environmental Art Project.

Please respect the ecological sensitivity fo this area by enjoying the artwork from the path.

Where is Cozy art work in Stanley Park?
Cozy is located just off of the South Creek Trail. Enter the South Creek trail heading west at the south end of the Shakespeare Garden. It is not too far down the trail on the left side. Look for a clearing on the right that has 2 big large stumps in it. The path to Cozy is just across from this clearing.
