Sunshine on Winter Street, 2022

Sunshine on Winter Street is a 2.5-meter diameter wall-based relief sculpture, created in Sheffield in collaboration with regular project partners, Steel Line. The sculpture consists of 69 angular, polished stainless steel tiles mounted on a stainless steel frame. Each of the 25 colors used was derived from an abstraction of a NASA image of the burning sun.

The piece was designed to bring warmth and humor to the location, serving as a playful nod to Winter Street. It aims to brighten even the greyest of days and, hopefully, bring a smile to those who pass by.
