Traffic Light Tree

Pierre Vivant
Sculpture
Painted steel & lights
1998

Heron Quays Roundabout
London TQ371801
Tube Canary Wharf


Funded and produced by the Public Art Commissions Agency. On roundabout just beyond the Canary Wharf estate there are three trees, two are London planes; the third is a traffic light tree; Pierre Vivant's eternal tree replaced another London plane as it was dying.

The arbitrary cycle of light changes are not supposed to mimic the seasonal rhythm of nature, but the restlessness of Canary Wharf.
