Times Colonist
The City of Victoria plans to unveil its latest public art project at a ceremony today.
The Hands of Time, by artist Crystal Przybille, is a series of 12 bronze sculpted hands representing elements of Victoria’s heritage. They vary in age, gender and culture and are engaged in various activities — from raising a tea cup to carving a canoe paddle.

About the Artwork
Each pair of three-dimensional hands is unique, varying in culture, age and gender, and will tell a story about a downtown location. Ranging in size from 25 x 17 x 7 to 60 x 40 x 20 centimetres, the 12 sculptures consist of hands carving a canoe paddle, holding a railway spike, performing with a fan, carrying blankets, carrying books, holding binoculars, tying a rope to a mooring ring, panning for gold, raising a tea cup, holding a mirror, cupping dogwood blossoms, and digging camas bulbs.
