In 2013, artist Paul Johnson was unanimously selected for his concept ‘Tillage’ as the preferred design in reference to the region’s agricultural history.
Tillage depicts a series of mounded furrows arcing above the ground in shapes that evoke working metal tools, wheels, discs and farm machinery. This notion of agricultural labour is further emphasised by curved, custom designed, laser cut images of cartwheels into corten steel sheets resting upon the tops of the five arcs.
At ground level is a matching series of furrows, created from low planting, that reaches from one side of the roundabout to the other. As the sun fades, the arcs are illuminated by yellow-orange ambient light.
Artwork is on the roundabout.
