Public Drums - Art for a Troubled Park

This art piece was commissioned for a troubled park where criminals shoot out the streetlights, deal drugs, and chase away the children. I met with members of the community as I designed the piece and visited the park many times day and night. Public Drums is a sophisticated and rugged musical instrument that glows brilliantly at night. It is designed to encourage individual performance and positive group interaction. I took no chances, cladding it entirely in bulletproof polycarbonate.
