Gareth's sculptures are influenced by American west coast architecture called 'Googie', a style derived from a John Lautner designed coffee shop in West Hollywood. Googie architecture was born of the post-WWII car-culture and thrived in the 1950s and 1960s. Bold angles, colourful signs, plate glass, sweeping cantilevered roofs and pop-culture imagery captured the attention of drivers on adjacent streets. Bowling alleys looked like tomorrow land, coffee shops looked like something in a Jetson's cartoon. For decades, many 'serious' architects decried Googie as frivolous or crass. Today we recognize how perfectly its form followed its function.
