Coast Festival, sculptures by Rob Mulholland |
For COAST 2009 Rob created an installation of figures standing in the grounds of Banff Castle looking down toward the bay, with a lone figure down by the sea wall at Greenbanks pointing out to sea. This installation is a play on the seafaring traditions of Banff and Macduff, with the townsfolk looking out in search of the returning fleet and the distinct relationship that fishing families have with the sea. The figures have been cut in mild steel and riveted together to resemble the plate used in fishing boats; this choice and use of materials creates a resonance with our community and visitors alike. |

Egg sign 'free range neeps' |
A painted and collaged eggs and neeps for sale sign, with an honesty box that has sadly been re-classified as a dis-honesty box as far as eggs are concerned.
The concept of a "free range neep" (turnip) is a little disturbing, but the hen has a definite charm. |
