The new Union building by the canal in Leamington Spa provided the opportunity to celebrate the life and work of renowned artist, Sir Terry Frost, RA, a century after he was born in the town in 1915.

The site is by the Grand Union Canal and I had researched that the Eagle Foundry had operated on the opposite side of the canal and my proposal for Alumno's development comprised of four large cast-iron floor plates based on Sir Terry’s paintings, together with a series of colourful screen-prints in the atrium of the new building. We worked with Terry's son Anthony Frost who advised on the imagery and recommended poet Bob Deveraux to work on the commission as he had known Terry in St Ives. Both the cast iron floorplates and atrium prints are bordered by a specially commissioned poem by Bob Deveraux describing Sir Terry’s early life in Leamington Spa and his journey to become one of Britain’s most recognisable abstract painters. The cast-iron plates  are set within a newly designed pocket park named ‘Terry Frost Space”, which can be used by local residents and people enjoying the canal-side walks.
