Gainesville commissions local artist for GPD Art Fencing Project Published on August 07, 2026 Sarah Hinds' proposal, "Common Light," was selected through a competitive qualifications-based process. The composition plays with circular forms that evoke citrus slices, bicycle wheels, train wheels and sunlight simultaneously, allowing the imagery to remain open, recognizable and interconnected rather than literal. Flowing structural bands reference pathways, rail lines and the flow of music. Tagged as: , Announcements, Arts & Culture, Community Safety, Media Releases, PRCA
