Owners of the artworks will be able to deploy them when leaving their cars in large or busy car parks, helping them find their cars on their return.

Each artwork has a different collection of elements; different shapes, symbols and colours.

These artworks sit somewhere on the edge of art and life, of composition and real world usefulness. Each set of simple abstract forms becoming a visual aid, a useful artwork.

They are public artworks, sculptures covertly placed in the public realm.

The construction of the artworks, particularly the use of rivets and hoops allows elements of the artwork to move in the wind, further improving their visibility from distance.

Each artwork is weatherproof and hard wearing and can be fixed in in place by winding the car window up.

Jack hopes to develop this series further, as a real world product, aimed particularly at helping the elderly.
