HUGH JART 8ft high LW LOVE LETTERS
BIG BRADFORD 2007
Hugh Jart designed & installed the
'BIG BRADFORD' for the first time at the STIR Festival 2007 in Centenary Square, Bradford.
BIG BRADFORD was 8ft high, 32ft wide and 4ft deep.
These LIGHT WEIGHT letters were designed to be able to be easily moved as they were produced with lighter materials and on wheels. They could support small numbers of people sitting in the lower levels but wouldn't withstand climbing up & on. Although they could be flat packed these letters can also be transported pre assembled and decorated for very fast get in/out times.
Being on wheels meant that Bradford could be pushed along the route of the Lord Mayors Parade in Oct '07.
In 2008 we cut the depth of the light weight letters to 3.5ft - better for transporting when they are assembled.
