Evolution For Hartham Gateway

A glass and metal spiral celeberating the work of Alfred Russell has won the competition for a public work of art at the gateway to Hartham Common adjacent to Sainsbury's new store.

The work will be sited on land formerly used for recycling banks and has been paid for by the company as part of their section 106 planning conditions.

Designed by Karen Murphy and Leiselle Bristow, the spiral walk is paved with the bottoms of recycled McMullens beer bottles set in to concrete, whilst a screen of metal and glass panels creates a see-through relief depicting the town's history and how man's evolution has changed it.
