Proposal for Monroe County Art in Public Places
Stock Island Fire Station
After walking around the new Monroe County Fire Station on Stock Island and admiring the building's
design and placement on the site, I began to imagine just what kind of art would complement the
architecture. Two exterior walls were designated for artwork: a 22-foot vertical wall and two long,
horizontal, curving walls. It seemed important to visually connect these walls and make them part of
the overall design.
However,the artistic challenge of unifying this space called for a non-traditional approach. Instead of
trying to harmoniously blend these two opposing shapes into one design, I decided to break up the flat
wall space with a modernistic abstract design based on the old dazzle camouflage painting. I was
inspired by very creative maritime artists who painted naval ships a century ago.
During World War I, artists turned naval fleets into the largest painting canvases in the world. German
U-boats were sinking huge
numbers of ships and there was WAR GLOVER
no effective defense. While
most camouflage is based on
the idea of concealment, dazzle
camouflage painting uses ' '0 ,4
abstractions to cloak the ships Aft
by seemingly creating more
movement. The patterns of
.410
random diagonals, zigzags, and , �
stripes of bold colors, seemed to
be a mash-up of unrelated
components. However,these
brightly contrasting geometric
designs made it much harder for U-boat captains to determine the ship's course and fewer ships were
torpedoed.
Dazzle camouflage painting
boosted the moral of allied seamen
} w
as well as capturing the
ilJ
u imagination of artists and the
' public alike. During the war, most
of the British patterns were
created by women from London's
Royal Academy of Arts. Their
designs were scaled up for the
dockyard painters.
Below is a full color painting of an actual ship with dazzle camouflage.
u
rh
,i a II
i
These creative and fanciful designs inspired me to design the painted walls of the new Fire Station in
these dazzle patterns. The bold, geometric lines and spaces in bright colors make an unexpected
impression on the visitor, and create a strong focal point for the building.
