The Mrs Robinson bike racks can be considered standalone sculptures, with or without bikes. The design process included researching the history of the North Adelaide site, reviewing historical photos, considering the humorous names of local and historic hotels, identifying the qualities of standard bike racks, and considering the form and function of bike racks. The design emerged when I made the link with Duchamp’s precedents of the ‘assisted readymade’ resulting in crossing a standard bike rack with the fashionable leopard print. The results are stainless steel sculptural elements that alter and disrupt expectations of the streetscape, send up the recurring fashion trend that sees women impersonating wild African animals, but are also recognisable and functional as bike racks.
