21-09-2023 - NEW – BRISTOL KING ST PUBLIC ART COMMISSION – SHORTLIST

My proposal shows two natural seating sculptures. These features could be stand alone and which also have a varying degree of influence on other public seating and other public realm features designed for the area, such as planters, cycle stands and business area divides.

In summary, I would like to draw upon the heritage of Kings Street to deliver a public art scheme that embraces its history and presented using a contemporary design aesthetic. I would aim to employ both traditional and modern materials and fabrication techniques to present a series of artwork that appealed to large local demographic, and to complement the overall  enhancement strategy for the vicinity.
