Terrain Work Wins Public Art Commission in San Francisco
Terrain Work is delighted to announce that our public art installation, POP Rocks ,has been selected as a permanent art installation in the Mission Bay district of San Francisco. The Mission Rock development is a joint venture between the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer. The competition for Mission Rock Street Rooms provided an opportunity to shape the identity and experience of San Francisco’s historic waterfront.
“Erupting from the sidewalk, POP Rocks, creates a dynamic sandstone sculpture that invites people to interact with it. The sandstone highlights the unique geological rock formations found in the San Francisco Bay Area while integrating splashes of orange and yellow reminiscent of the native California poppy wildflowers. While developing our artwork, POP Rocks, it was important for our ideas to be embedded in the enduring history of the San Francisco Bay Area landscape while creating a place where the whole community could delight in the unexpected.” - Theodore Hoerr, Founding Principal Terrain Work.
