Playground Donor Plaque





A design for the new Creemore playground to honor the donations that helped make it possible.
The criteria was for a simple design that wasn't too costly or obtrusive. A design that was light and playful.
The lines, shapes and colours reflect the organic form of the slide and surrounding trees. The colours were borrowed from the bark and the contrasting colours of the playground equipment. The flowing lines and circles could be interpreted as balloons and the overall shape as an expecting mom.
It was an effortless piece - a good creative litmus test.

The principal shape was laser cut by Prototier and the laser etched stainless steel plaque by Laserwerks with metal fabrication by Iron Butterfly.

It was one of the last pieces assembled in my studio
