Toronto artist transforms salvaged material into sculptures for hospitals | CBC News
Briefly

"I make mobiles, it's part of my visual language. We're looking at brass, bronze, wood, salvaged materials I've collected over the years... hoping for a magical, whimsical and playful composition."
"Part of Lin's artistic process involves saving and recycling items. In this particular piece, titled Milky Way, he's also used material from the hospital's prosthetics and orthotics department."
"We've created patient workshops where we work together to inform the mobiles, so that's been a really wonderful opportunity," Lin stated, highlighting collaboration with patients.
"One of the goals with the sculpture installation is having more health-care settings consider their facilities as canvases for public art," Susan MacDonald emphasized, underlining the aim of enhancing healthcare environments.
