Fishponds Library Owl

Bristol libraries commissoned Upfest to create a public art installation to enhance the visibility of Fishponds Library. The owl was chosen as a symbol of knowledge.

Upfest worked with Tom Habben who created a 10ft layered plywood owl. A successful public engagement campaign 'Bristol Reads' took place for members of the public to submit their favourite literary quote. These were then stenciled onto the individual feathers on the wings.
