Wellington Street Art Competition

Since the end of studio, a job literally landed in my hands which I've been fully immersed in for the past couple weeks. I've been doing digital renderings of sculptures for an art competition with Jennifer Macklem + Kip Jones. The project coincides with a broader 20 year plan to redevelop Wellington street. The city of Ottawa plans to rezone certain parts of the street for new land development as well as fairly substantial improvements to public space and the streetscape and road improvements. That includes widened sidewalks, new landscaping, and artwork. Art pieces are to occupy a number of sites stretching from Bayswater to Western. The budget for the art commission is around $260,000.


After Thursday, which happens to be the jury decision date, I'll have some images posted of the work we did.
