North Tyneside Council

Brief/
North Tyneside Council is looking to develop a new programme of permanent public art works, sited at significant ‘gateways’ into the borough.

Design/
The competition proposal sets out a number of steel sculptures to stand as sentinels along routes between the sites identified. Steel markers represent unknown individuals that have travelled these paths over time. Humanlike in stance, the markers respond to movement with shifting views and perspectives, guiding the visitor through the landscape and offering a contemplative significance to the area. Coloured lights within the markers emit light through translucent panels to mark out the pathways at dark.
