Central Bedfordshire Council commissioned Pearman to undertake a public art commission for a new council community hall and council offices in Stotfold, Bedfordshire. Pearman designed and managed a vitreous enamel cladding and glazing vinyl system spanning 3 elevations. The artwork is a continuous design that overlaps 60 meters of the exterior walled area and the glazing.

Using Typewriter art as an inspiration to include text into the artworks, it enabled a variety of narratives to be introduced as part of a collaborative programme involving six local community groups, schools and members of the public. The graphic imagery of steam and clouds relates to Stotfoldʼs agricultural heritage, and at the same time presents a transient depiction of local memories and stories once told.

Sections of the design employs anaglyph imagery. Anaglyph 3D is the stereoscopic 3D effect achieved by means of encoding each eye’s image using filters of different colors, typically red and cyan.

Pearman devised a series of typewriter art workshops for the collaborative element of a large-scale public art project.
