finished bike racks

the bike racks are all complete and being enjoyed by the public. we finished them 2 weeks ago but i just have not had time to sort through my images until now.


this is the branch rack outside the botanic gardens. i think this is the most successful bike rack we did. 
 

it is simple, effective and useful. the other day when i drove past the branch rack had 3 bikes on it and the rest of the racks were empty, so maybe it is the people's favorite too.


this is the install at grenfell street, outside an aboriginal cultural center. this was the most daunting artwork to do, but i think it is also really successful.


here is a detail of the shadow. this piece is a gentle reminder that someone has been here before, and that time will change your perspective. it also reminds us that we are connected to the land and the sky. or else you could just walk by and say that is a cool bike rack.
 

the third site, was the hardest one for us to come up with and idea. it is in a busy commercial area, so we decided to tackle the busy space with highly visible graphics.
 

a kind of heli-pad landing spot for bicycles and a bit of fun. 


it actually turned out really well and has activated the space.
 

we even refreshed an existing bike rack at the site.

so that is this job complete. 
now time to start writing applications for the next public art opportunity.
