Kings Cross, Cubitt Sq.

Work: No.700 Reflectors
Location: Kings Cross, London, UK
Date: 2016

Measuring 50 metres long and 3.5 metres high, No.700 Reflectors, 2016 occupied the full length of Lewis Cubitt Square at King’s Cross. The work consisted of 30,000 reflectors forming a bold geometric pattern spanning across the hoarding at King’s Cross. This project shows how temporary public artwork can help animate public space in a bold and engaging way. The reflectors illuminate and reflect subtle changes in light. These vibrant chevrons create a dialogue with the public’s journey through the space, forming a continuous surface of shifting colour and form that responds to movement and light.
