The octaves merging from a hollow metallic shell are an authentic
expression of a cacophony of sound that would emanate from
instrument and man thrown together.
The central circle is a customised laminated panel of glass with a
mirrored interlayer, which reflects the blue of the sky during the
day and moonlight at night.
David Harber, who won the Best Trade Stand in show at RHS
Chelsea Flower Show in 2016, and The Director General’s Award
in 2017, explains; “Its execution is dynamic, elegant and fluid,
allowing the viewers imagination to interpret it in different ways.
The piece is visually and in architectural form a signal for the
people of Hertfordshire to come together.
The rest of the landscaped gardens at Gabriel Square include
dynamic plants, manicured lawns with play areas for children,
and enclosed paved courtyards with garden tables, chairs and
benches for picnics. Recalling the iconic layouts of grand Georgian
and Victorian garden squares across the UK, the central space
has been designed as a place in which residents can meet and
interact.
