Exploring public art integrated with practical functions.

The challenge in Hobart was to provide the sculptures in a relatively small footprint and respond to issues such as a lack of public furniture and landscaping and trees. We then proposed an additional layering of optional functions such as drinking fountains, wifi, way finding. The final Hybrids are a series of sculptures, inspired by the backdrop of Kunanyi, the incredible landscape and geology of Tasmania. The sculptures blend functional urban purpose such as tree planters, seating, lighting and a community poster pole.
