The geometric goose: Warwick’s new neon icon lands on campus
Street artist David Speed has unveiled the giant neon mural Temporary Home at the University of Warwick.
Created in collaboration with students from the University, it features Warwick’s iconic Greylag goose. The bold design, unveiled following Speed’s Retreat to Create residency, forms part of the university’s 60th anniversary celebrations.
“This mural is a true collaboration,” said David. “I spent over 60 hours on campus, connecting with faculty members, the wider community, and over 100 students to understand their experiences of life here. Together with students, I workshopped a range of ideas on how to visualise those feelings.
“The Warwick geese emerged as a powerful symbol. They’re the icons of the campus and a reflection of its spirit. Like students, geese are social birds and flock together. They migrate each year and find temporary homes and form strong family bonds.
“Most people who visit the campus will fly away some day, but it’s my hope that this mural becomes a landmark and a memory from their time here, in their temporary home.”
