'Linden Heights' Housing Development, Bristol

mosaic pasteup for linden Homes site, made by Marion Brandis

The housing development by Linden Homes in Horfield, Bristol consists of both private and social housing. The artwork is meant to add character to the whole scheme, and to enhance the areas where people might meet socially, like the seating areas. 

I have selected materials that are used elsewhere in the scheme, such as Woodscape products. The colours are complementary to the brick and stone colours used within the buildings. 

The mosaics refer to the landscaping of the scheme, and I wanted to create an integrated feel to the artworks.
