Printing Richard Killeen's Artwork for Central Library Peterborough

The inner binding

Here are a few shots of a job we once completed on the Central Library Peterborough window. The artwork is by renowned New Zealand artist Richard Killeen, and was part of the Christchurch Art Gallery Outer Spaces programme.

How it was produced

We printed the image on translucent vinyl, so it would be enhanced by the light coming from within the library.

FAQs

What is translucent vinyl used for in window installations?
Translucent vinyl allows an image to be printed onto a window while still letting light pass through, which enhances the artwork using natural or interior light rather than covering the glass completely.

Can artwork be reproduced for a public building installation?
Yes, original artwork can be digitally reproduced and printed onto materials like translucent vinyl for large scale public installations, while staying true to the original piece.

This is a look back at a past project. Central Library Peterborough was demolished in 2014 and replaced by Tūranga in 2018, so this installation is no longer viewable at this location.
