I often get asked if the public art component of a project is 'just' the perforations to the screens or equally limited. Sometimes it is, but more often than not, it is more significant, such as here for Bob Hawke College.

The form of these aluminum fins to Coughlan Road was a critical component of the art concept and was created on RhinoV6.

My work explores place, memory, identity and custodianship through design and public art.

Penelope Forlano is a spatial designer and public artist with a special interest in the mnemonic and emotional experience of public and private artifacts. Her recent doctoral research examined emotionally enduring artifacts, and how to evoke custodianship in the user through a design anthropology approach. She has over 20 years of practice as an award-winning artist, furniture, and interior designer. Her work has been exhibited widely including at 100% Design (London), CraftACT, The John Curtin Gallery, FORM, and a solo show at the esteemed Salone Satellite - Milan International Furniture Fair in 2004. She received the prestigious Australian Design Award (2006), and in 2011 her ‘Terrain’ table was acquired for permanent collection by the Art Gallery of WA. She has completed multiple public artworks for private and government bodies.
