1. Simon Watkinson’s ‘Parallel Plotter’, Poole QuayInstalled in 2002 on Poole Visitors’ Quay as part of the Sea Defence scheme

Embedded in the Visitor’s Quay, the Parallel Plotter is a means of plotting a vessel’s course and would have been a key navigational aid historically. Its site on the Quay also reflects the railway line that used to run nearby. The Borough of Poole commissioned the artwork as part of the Quay enhancements. The sculpture was installed in 2002 and, funded by the Environment Agency the commission fee was £10,000. Image: Courtesy of Anne Reynolds.

2. Whirling Mandala – by Greg Johns Installed 2006 at Tescos Petrol Station, Waterloo Road BH17 7JX

This artwork was purchased from a sculpture park by Tesco for installation on the site and in settlement of their public art contribution of £15,000 for developing the supermarket on Waterloo Road. This was written into a Planning Condition for the site. The sculpture is not site specific and from the information available, it seems that the artist takes his inspiration for his work largely from the Australian landscape.

3. Peter Yarwood’s Tattooed Sculpture, Cabot Lane.Installed in 2007 at the corner of Broadstone Way and Cabot Lane BH17 7AE

The brief for this sculptural screen was developed to help screen the car park of a number of retail units from the nearby road to the north of the site. It adds an interesting aspect to the corner and the artist worked with staff from the Local History Centre in Poole in order to inform his work. This collaboration resulted in the traditional sea fairing images tattooed on the screens, which are revealed as a car’s headlights sweeps across the artwork at night. The commission fee for this work was £15,000 as part of a Planning Condition in relation to the build of the retail units.Photograph: by Nicky Whittenham

7. ‘Ribs’ by David Annand Installed in 2008 at Aqua Housing Development, Holes Bay Road BH15 1LS

This bronze figurative dancer echoes the tilt of the abstract steel ribs of a boat, which appears as if resting on the bed of the nearby harbour at low tide.

8. Andy Hazell’s Boomerang, Tower ParkInstalled in 2008 on a pedestrian access path at Tower Park, Poole BH12 4NY

The artist took a playful approach to the design of this sculpture, which was selected from a number of possible designs put forward. The boomerang suggests the idea of ‘returning’ yet also provides an informal, directional ’arrow’ into the entertainments complex for people leaving the car park and looking for a way in. The artwork was produced by welding two sheets of steel together and then inserting air into the cavity, at a very high pressure. The commission fee was a £10,000 S106 developer contribution in relation to refurbishment work at Tower Park. Image: Courtesy of Anne Reynolds.





9. ‘Model Living’ by Anna Heinrich and Leon PalmerInstalled in 2009 at Corfe House, Seldown Bridge BH15 1ED

Each artwork illuminates inwards to its interior and outwards to the entrance canopy surrounding it. The scheme cost £30,000 and was part of a Planning Condition for the site.

As part of a joint commission with the Wimborne Road Emergency Services HQ, the PFI Partnership contributed £75,000 through a Section 106 Agreement and a Planning Condition.

13. Simon Watkinson’s Chine, Penn Hill.Installed in 2009 as part of Transportation’s Capital Programmes road improvements scheme in this area of Poole.

This sculpture has blue lighting strips set within it which switch on automatically after at dusk. The plan view of the artwork represents the street plan of the local area, from the Penn Hill Avenue junction up North Lodge and Archway Road, and linked by Bournemouth Road. The sculpture is correctly oriented in its location and on the east to west trajectory, which represents the railway line, the artwork rises from the pavement level to form an elevated plinth of a metre high. The artist’s concept for the form of the artwork arose from his research into the chines of the area and the idea of information being carried downhill to settle on lower ground. The cost of design and installation for this design and a further intervention by the artist at the top of North Lodge was £25,000, which was funded from a Local Transport Plan Government Grant for road improvement works.Photograph by Nicky Whittenham

14. Simon Watkinson’s Trading Posts, Old OrchardInstalled in 2009 as part of environmental enhancements of this area of Poole High Street BH15 1BT

The extended vertical bands, highlighted with blue light after dark, are derived from the original plot sizes of the houses and shops formerly on the site. There is a processional quality to this space beneath the trees, encouraging people to move through it. Old Orchard has always been a social space, and the provision of an informal performance area encourages this to continue. The artist’s design fee for this artwork was £15,000, which was funded from a S106 developer’s contribution related to the refurbishment of the adjacent Old Orchard housing development.

18. Rob Olins - Conservative Club & Knightstone Housing, Wimborne Road.

Cresta Homes contributed £20,000 through their S106 with the Borough of Poole for the purpose of public art. The commission was carried out by architectural sculptor Rob Olins, who worked closely local people and subsequently, with Poole Pottery to research the traditional glaze colours used in their historic designs. Rob commissioned Poole Pottery to produce 350 glazed tiles in the agreed colours, which have been installed to depict an abstract sunset, curling around the curved ground floor wall of the Conservative Club. It can be best viewed when travelling from north to south on Wimborne Road. The same colours were used by Rob to produce abstract laminates, which have been installed on each floor of the glazed curtain wall of the apartment block’s stairwell. The combination of the two interventions creates a unity between the very different styles of architecture used in the development. This list is not exhaustive but features artworks which have been commissioned since 2002, by Officers of the Arts Development Unit. Only Public Artworks where the project is complete have been included here. All Public Art in Poole has been funded by external sources (see breakdown at end).

19. Lubna Chowdhary - Commemorative Ceramics Artwork at Poole Museum.

As part of BoP’s celebration around the completion and opening of the Twin Sails bridge in Poole, a £4,000 ceramics commission was funded by Regional Development Agency (the Regional Infrastructure Funding loan), the Department for Transport, the Department of Communities and Local Government (the Regional Growth Fund) and developers (s106 agreements). Lubna Chowdhary was commissioned to produce the work and worked from her own observation to create an abstracted representation of the waters of Poole Harbour in the foreground, with the Twin Sails Bridge straddling the channel between the land masses of Hamworthy and Poole Town. A further depiction of Poole Harbour is seen in the background, with the distant Purbeck Hills beyond. Lubna has used glazes in a palette recognisable from Poole Pottery’s design heritage, and incorporating the ‘overglazing’ technique used by the Pottery in much of its panel production work. The panel is installed in the courtyard of Poole Museum.
