The Radii, Marcus Moore


Marcus Moore's stunning moving sculpture is permanently housed in the inner city retail complex and bus exchange, The Crossing. Made primarily of steel, the sculpture enlivens the atrium and escalator with two shafts that 'cross over' on the hour.

Each shaft is encircled with several rings incorporating coloured lights that move up and down the shaft at certain intervals. The work's design is inspired by the architectural features of the old Arthur Barnett building where The Crossing is sited while evoking a futuristic machine.

The Radii was commissioned by The Carter Group
