Cookson and McNally Public Art |
Landscape Design |
As lead artists we have redesigned many public spaces, making them more functional and visually appealing. We work with town and city departments and at every stage during a commission we are advised by members of the local community. Tiger Moth Square was a neglected and bleak public space giving an impression of grey cracked paving slabs and broken glass. We increased and raised the area of grass so that it's retaining wall is at low seating height. Red clay brick work replaces much of the grey paving slabs and a tall lighting sculpture is placed in the centre of the square. The children's sculpture garden (left) is part of a new entrance for Moorfield Primary School. It is designed as an appealing waiting area for parents and young children. New 'Pebble Bollards' along one edge of the site act as a barrier stopping joy riders' from accessing the square and beautiful 'Pebble Railings' protect a line of shops from 'ram-raiding'. Batley Bats (left bottom) is a triangular site dominated by the York stone gable end of a Victorian warehouse and part of a brash traffic junction. We designed a large gothic arch equal in scale to the gable end and improved pedestrian access to and around the site. |
