We recently completed installing our public art bike rack, The Granby Fork, at the newly renovated Flatiron park on Granby Street. The nearly 13-foot tall fork sculpture welcomes visitors to downtown Norfolk’s dining district and the 18-foot long noodle gives those riding in from outlying areas a place to secure their bikes. The fork is comprised of laser cut and bent steel plates while the noodle is made from hand-formed and welded steel strips.
The Downtown Norfolk Council commissioned various artists of Norfolk to install five artful, yet functional bike racks in downtown Norfolk.
Thom of WPA worked with Peter Johnston of 5forty Design inc. and won the commission from DNC to design and create “The Fork” and “The Buoy.”
