North Square Public Art Project | A+J Art+Design
THE CONCEPT
North Square is a small square with a big place in history and a big view of the Boston skyline. We propose four sculptures that embrace this idea in four different ways. Our concept emphasizes the many histories and peoples that have made North Square their home over the centuries.
THE SCULPTURES
We propose four sculptures in bronze, finished with a patina that evokes nautical themes. The size of the sculptures will be human scale. They will be mounted on stone bases, and placed in relation to key architectural features around the Square. Each sculpture echoes the character of the Square as a small space looking outwards to a big view. Some of the sculpture will be made in direct collaboration with the community.
