The City of Ocala recognized the need to meld form and necessary function with creative expression. An electrical transformer structure was needed to support growth, but the location in the downtown square, rich with history and mature trees, required an aesthetic approach. This transformer fencing is a collaboration with the City and an artist of another medium. The fencing is made from weathering steel, a group of steel alloys that form a stable rust-like patina after exposure to the elements. The palm fronds are mimicked in both artist’s works for a dynamic appearance and texture.
