Skate Plaza

Skate Plaza Public Artwork integration, Willetton WA,

Designed and installed 2021

Ground Artwork

Skate Barriers

Feature sculptures and skate rail.

Working alongside Skate Sculpture and Realm Studios, I designed and installed a corridor ground artwork to run alongside the skate plaza and connect to the Basketball Stadium. Aluminium skate barriers and feature sculptures with integrated programmed lighting act as welcome statements to the plaza with an accented rail design providing a pop of colour to flow through the site.

My design reflects the site in its former natural state, a seasonal swampland in flux as water passes through the site to influence abstract forms and movements connected to skating and basketball. Truly a dream project to be able to influence the visual language and experience of the site and so fun to skate this one…
