Mary Dengler
Flooring for stair half landings, 1993
Atrium, Sheffield Hallam University.
linoleum
Location:
The Atrium, City Campus, Sheffield Hallam University. (A-Z p5 4F)

Description:
Different sets of references mark each of the three landings: tools and saw blades; drill bits, nuts and bolts; cutlery blanks. The overall radial layout is meant to suggest growth.

Commission:
Sheffield Hallam University.

Comment:
Design refers to Sheffield's industrial history. The colour scheme is consistent with the Lead Artists' recommended palette, and for simple practicality the number of colours reduced to five.

A plaque on the stair rail reads:
"ATRIUM STAIR HALF-LANDINGS
Artist: Mary Dengler 1993
Achieved with support from DLW Flooring Ltd
Art for the Community"
