CRIBBS CANOPY, CRIBBS CAUSEWAY
Artist(s): Denman+Gould
Client: Baylis Estates
Curated by Ginkgo Projects
Art and design studio Denman+Gould is creating a site-specific multi-installation project Cribbs Canopy within the main green space of Site 20, Cribbs Causeway, Bristol. Specialising in public and community-based projects, Denman+Gould have designed a new habitat-supporting artwork to enhance visitor time on site and create a sense of quality, belonging and landmarking.
The site is an emerging ecological stronghold consisting of meadow, native planting, and a new pond. Denman+Gould’s design will create new wildlife habitat, enhancing the area for plants, animals and people. The design is mutually supportive with nature, including cedar geometric panels modelled on natural structures that provide shelter and nesting for birds, moths and butterflies.
Site 20 is part of Baylis Estates’ new mixed leisure and retail development at Cribbs Causeway, to the south of The Mall, and adjacent to The Venue and leisure offer currently available there.
Work is planned for fabrication and installation over late Autumn 2023.
