An excellent example of an experiential public work is Anish Kapoor’s ‘Cloudgate’ or the works of Olafur Eliasson. Kapoor’s structure is shaped like a bean, drawing in viewers that see their reflection in the mirrored stainless steel surface, along with those of strangers, the sky and the built environment. In this way, Kapoor has fashioned a portal that encompasses human experience and an artwork. ––––– In a similar way, the work proposed might function in the same way Kapoor’s does: to invite and intrigue. I envisage a space that encompasses contemplation and reflection, and invites play.
