NEWPUBLIC ART

sample patterns from previous projects

Artists Rebecca Bayer and David Gregory of spacemakeplace were selected for the Leisure Centre Public Art Project to design and install the new community custom glass tile mosaics for the meeting/gathering space area outside the change rooms, reception area and feature wall of the pool deck. Their artwork explores the relationship between people and place. For the proposed Leisure Centre Community Mosaic they will engage residents through a series of fun public workshops in the fall to gather geometric patterns which will be the inspiration to create a site specific tile mosaic. The final artwork will express the idea that “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” The installation will be timed with the Leisure Centre construction schedule and unveiled when the renovations are complete.
