Lon Pennock designed a work of art that should have a relationship with the Oost Police Station and the adjacent Hoofdweg. It was intended that the work could also be experienced from a moving car. The cubes were placed after an earlier design of whimsical shapes was rejected. The blocks are gray, but due to the placement and the light, the blocks appear to have different shades.
Sculptor Lon Pennock (The Hague, 1945 - there, 2020) made drawings and collages in addition to many abstract sculptures in public space. His images are reactions to or enhancements of elements in their environment. They are mainly made of metal. In addition to being a sculptor, Lon Pennock was also a teacher at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam.
