A media/advertising company are looking for an artist who works with either steel or glass to do a one-off sculpture. As the business is into magazine advertising they would like something that somehow incorporates magazines (front covers) and also the company logo somewhere amongst it too. The initial idea was to have some sort of indoor water feature but water is not an essential part of the piece. Perhaps all the different types of magazine covers could be printed on to metal or glass. It could be wall mounted and 2D, or freestanding and 3D. It is to go in the reception area.
