For Radford Brooks Linear park, Complex Development Projects wanted two major landmark pieces to compliment the design of a 1km long green link from the top of Naul’s Mill Park, under the ring road through to Belgrade Plaza in the city centre in Coventry.

A pedestrian and cycle route passes under a raised section of the ring road, which was designed to brought to life as a new urban space with a new climbing wall, performance amphitheatre, feature lighting and landscaping. The client wanted the subject of the artworks to be future looking and to amplify the urban scape. Artists Gary Stranger and Emily Hett were selected by the client team to develop proposals in response to a large floor area, and the outdoor climbing wall.

Sam worked on behalf of Creative Giants, supporting a curated selection of suitable artists, development of the brief, co-ordinating contracting, and managed communication between the artist and the site team. The murals were installed by Good Night Vienna.
