Public Art on the Black Country Route

Jane Kelly 1993

Hall Green Footbridge showing Wall pattern by Jane Kelly
Gates and railings by Richard Criddle
| Jane designed
the silver and grey geometric patterns which clad the
cutting walls of the Hall Green Footbridge structure. The
patterns evoke the large industrial buildings and
machines of Bilston's past and echo images produced by
the Russian artist Chernikov and the work of the
Wolverhampton artist Edward Wadsworth in the 1940's. Jane produced the original design forms which were translated into brickwork patterns in consultation with the consulting engineers Mott Mac Donald. Jane Kelly was based in Walsall an adjacent Borough to Wolverhampton when she designed this work and she carried out workshops with two local schools. |
