Jaako Pernu, a sculptor and environmental artist from Finland, was a perfect choice for this large-scale project. He enjoys making site-specific artwork, distinguished by the use of oversized natural materials. His recent work includes many public displays in Europe and Canada. The 87 Peter art installation is designed to spread awareness of climate change through his artistic depiction of a gigantic air pressure map adapted from a North American weather forecast. In his proposal, Pernu expressed his concern about the changing climate with “recent years showing increasing temperatures in various regions and increasing extremities in weather patterns.” His piece is designed to spread awareness of “one of the greatest threats facing the planet” in a visual way.
