Commissions
For
Public Places |
| |
To make an artwork for a public place is the opportunity to speak as one individual
to another, an acknowledgement of our common humanity in the crowd.
Every
place is different, with a different history, cultural/political heritage, pattern of usage and future. All these are considered
in the artwork’s design, along with the artist’s own reactions, concerns and aspirations. Conversations with other
stakeholders in the commission are vital to the design process from the outset both to understand the motivation behind the
project and to establish a shared vision. If it is not to be mere decoration the piece must have some purpose in its place,
operating usually on a number of levels: practical, intellectual and spiritual, for example. In the best work, place, purpose
and artwork can fuse as one whole exhilarating experience.
