Re-emergence

Mark McClelland

Artmap Studio approached ADS to co-design, develop project manage and install this concept by award winning artist, Mark McClelland.

The artwork has three components; a large architectural overhead screen above the entrance, an exterior copper piece and an internal copper piece. Taken together, the three components reference the re-emergent mangrove ecosystem around the Rhodes peninsular. The canopies of the mangroves form distinctive patterns of light and shade, and create a sense of shelter; attributes which the overhead canopy above the entranceway appropriates. The forms of the mangrove trees and the spread of their root structures are suggested in the copper relief works both outside and inside the glass entrance.
