Homage to the Commuter
Next large scale sculpture for the public relam
(Looking for a comission)
Commuting is for many people an important time consuming experience every week. The commuter makes a difficult trade-off between income and loss of free time time. This is not necessarlly chosen by the commuter, but demanded by commerce. All agree it is an imposition, but this very activity is what makes the city hum.
The commuter is seldom celebrated as the hero/ine that oils the wheels of industry and business with their daliy presence in the city. This, I believe, is a prefect time to salute that commuter and acknowledge
'Homage to the Commuter' will be a single 3.2m high semi-abstract bronze figure in the centre of Smithfield Square Lower. The form will sit directly on the existing paving, without a plinth. It will be 85cms wide and 180cms long. (See technical drawing). Its surface will be deeply striated and slightly rough, with a light brown patination, rubbed back at high points to reveal highlights of the metal. their contribution to the life and commerce.
