The Public Inquiry

By  Rich White 2012
Commissioned by MADE for The Art of Architecture, The Public, West Bromwich. 13 - 15 February 2012. Exhibitioned 20 May 2012 Using leftover materials from the installation of the Art of Architecture show at The Public I aimed to build a sculpture (or sculptures) in response to the feedback I got from passers-by about The Public and its environs. The survey revealed that many people who initially didn't like The Public have grown to love it. In response to this I built 'It's Growing On Me' (inspired by a quote from the surveys). The work is a sort of 'happy fungus' that clusters on the underside of the walkway that snakes through the building. Thanks to Anthony, Jasreen, Graham and Andy.
