Overview

Custom printed glass

Historical information

The idea behind the Teen Screen was to create digi-glass panels, which would provide some privacy for teenage library users. It was a challenge to produce an artwork with imagery, both relevant to youth and yet with a somewhat timeless message. The glass partition includes handwritten notes from a Leonardo da Vinci sketchbook, mathematical formulae, binary code, books and a quill pen floating across the surface, as well as images of the other artworks in the Wanneroo Library and Cultural Centre.
