The Talus Dome is a sculpture consisting of nearly 1,000 316L stainless steel spheres of varying size, and is located in the river valley region of Edmonton, Alberta, southeast of the Quesnell Bridge. Designed by Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues, two artists from Los Angeles, the sculpture was constructed in autumn of 2011 by the Edmonton Public Art Collection at a total cost of roughly $600,000 Canadian dollars. The sculpture is named after talus, the collection of broken rock fragments at the base of a cliff or other steep rocky mass that has accumulated through periodic rockfall.
