'Garry Oak Gate'

If we can get permission to paint the existing gate black & modify to attach a large art panel, there’s an opportunity to create a sizeable & functional art gate adjacent the new parking lot. 


Envisioned is a large ¼” thick waterjet cut weathering steel plate rolled with a slight curvature to create more sculptural presence.  The art panel would be attached to standoffs welded to the structural gate and bolted into place.  Patterning could be achieved from images of existing Garry Oak branches, leaves & roots.  Overall scale would be approximately 16’ x 8’.   Care needs to be taken in regards sharp edges & head & hand-hold opening rules.
