I've seen photos of street furniture decorated by street artists before, but as far as I remember not in the UK.
Here in York, local artist HazardOne (Harriet Wood) was recently commissioned by York BID (Business Improvement District) to decorate a series of telecom cabinets under the title 'Outside the Box'.
There are around 12 cabinets that have been decorated with designs based on stained glass windows. They are found along The Stonebow and Peasholme Green, and make an interesting short walk. We didn't see them all, so another trip is required to get photos of the rest.
Our next post will be on Monday. Meanwhile, I hope you all have a good weekend!
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I really liked these artworks. My only slight disappointment was that the QR codes on each of the telecom cabinets only give a brief summary of the project but no details of the designs on the individual artworks. It would have been interesting to have known which original stained glass windows the designs were inspired by. Still, they really brighten up the street scene!
