Artwork from local artists has begun being put on public display.

The Spirit Way Committee commissioned four local artists to design artwork featuring various themes that will be on display at the play park near the Miles Hart Bridge.

Jan Hall’s work is the first one standing, with the theme “To Be Children”.

“There are three different panels that depict children playing. The top one is a little girl on a swing, the middle one is two little kids, a girl and a boy on a teeter-totter, and the bottom one is a boy kicking a ball.”

Hall describes the amount of work that went in to creating this structure.

“I started with wire armatures, covered it with tin foil, then I used fabric that’s dipped in this special liquid, which makes it hard as a rock and makes it also weatherproof. I like working in that medium, and that’s why I did mine that way.”

The artwork from the other three artists will be going up soon.
