Street Lamps Dressed in Colourful Costumes
16.12.2011
Take an evening stroll along Newcastle Mall to see the regular run of the mill street lamps dressed in colourful costumes of recycled plastic waste.
These eco friendly light sculptures were commissioned by Place Making & L!vesites to add a different kind of Christmas cheer to the Newcastle Mall streetscape and were created by renowned local artist Ken O’Regan.
Over a number of years artist Ken O’Regan has developed a sculptural practice that connects the tradition of the found object with environmental themes. His work is well known in the Hunter Region of NSW through regular and critically successful exhibitions, community art projects, public artworks and education projects.
