Voices of Heavitree: text-based public artwork for landmark gateway for Heavitree, Exeter as part of £500,000 environmental improvements; Exeter City Council & Devon County Council (with Michael Fairfax, lead artist & Peter Osborne – wrought iron)

Three 8.5m high inter-locking aluminium arches with LED-backlit words referencing Richard Hooker, son of Heavitree (one of the most important English theologians of the sixteenth century). The LED’s go through a colour cycle…

.. the words flow out of the arch, create a Celtic knot of letters in Forest of Dean green and red sandstone, cross the main road…

… emerge on the other side of the road in a small piazza, circle round in a spiral …

… coil up a bespoke tree-guard and disappear into a specially planted English oak
