Peter Millet is a sculptor who decided to take a swing at the design of a picnic shelter for Maple Leaf Park. He submitted this drawing for consideration by the selection panel. Reminiscent of his sculpture, this was an interesting take on the project. But what makes for a mysterious, compelling drawing may have made the structure look too ominous for its selection as the final design for the project. The commission was awarded to someone else.
