I've been interested in fusing sculpture and bike racks for a while now. I had been thinking about building racks with detachable sculptural tops. Oakwood Community House needed something simpler, but in the process I fused the functional forms into sculpture to make something they could use. The OC house is such a great experiment, they inspired me to donate the proceeds from the rack to help the Scrap Exchange. I had wanted to give local businesses I frequent art racks, but it makes more sense to have them give a donation to the Scrap Exchange.
Here is the Oakwood Rack. The next rack will have some similarities, but will lose the central loop.
I wish I had doubled the center loop to give more space for the bikes.
The leaf form is what I'm really interested in .
The bike racks were made from all scrap: drunk driver downed gaurdrail, train parts and water pipes from the neighborhood. It makes sense to use them to fund the Scrap Exchange.
