Tess Jaray works with Emrys on Public Art

The public art required by Westminster planning has been designed as an integral part of the building at Newman Street. We greatly enjoyed working with artist Royal Academician Tess Jaray who applied a unique striped terrazzo design to the front entrance steps making the required disabled access ramp a seamless part of the building. This theme continues inside the reception area of the building with a geometric design created from the same terrazzo.

The walls of the common area are lined with her distinctive prints. The series From the Rings of Saturn and Vertigo were first created in 2001. There are eighteen brightly coloured silk-screen prints, each image paired with a text taken from W G Sebald’s books of those titles.

Art consultants Modus Operandi advised Emrys Architects and Great Portland Estates on the public art commission
