Random Rippling - Comb bike corral
posted: Nov. 09, 2012
Jennifer Barker, owner of Bambu Salon, led the effort with support from INDYCOG, the Office of Sustainability, and artist, Scott Sebree to construct and install a custom bike corral in front of Bambu Salon at 916 E. Westfield Boulevard [G5 on map]. The comb design concept was developed by the staff at Bambu Salon and Barker commissioned the expertise of steel artist, Scott Sebree from the Indianapolis Art Center. The construction of the bike corral took place off-site at Edwards Electrical and has been in production for several months. Now installed, the comb bike corral holds 9 bicycles. The $4,200 needed to fund the project has been raised through grassroots efforts including donations from the salon's clients and nearby business owners and in-kind botanical scalp treatments performed by the salon's staff. Donations are still being accepted ($400 still needed) to pay for the cost of the bike corral and its installation.
