This work plays with the idea that public art is ‘Infrastructure’ and should be functional whilst being aesthetically pleasing and broadly appealing. This work is part of recent explorations as Abbey seeks to navigate the ego and the well intentioned yet harmful effects that urban planning has on the functionality of public space. The work can be falsely reduced to its aesthetic, when in reality it is a commentary on public and private space.

Abbey Rich
I’m most interested in public space, particularly community co-designed public art making. My work predominantly looks at pattern, gender and environment, with collaboration being a large pillar of my practice. My work intends to be easily approachable, to be welcoming and appeal to many people through colour, pattern and warmth. With large public art commissions for City of Casey and yapang Sculpture Park, Lake Macquarie and Camden Council.
