Sculptor Robert Kennedy.

Six separate small upright works set on stone bases; two boxing gloves, two dolls, cherub and a skull. Information from Festival Park: 'The works were carved away from site during 1991. They are made to operate as conventional garden ornamentation, within a constructed garden. The boxing gloves are there to depict some of their associated aspects, such as maleness and competition. The dolls depict something of how an image is idealised for mass consumption, becoming a distortion of the human figure. Both the gloves and the dolls can be seen as gendering devices through role play. The cherub and skull are life and death charms. Each of these suggests ways in which we adopt roles in society. What we really are is never as clear cut as what these images suggest.'
     Borderline was supported by Garden Festival Wales and Chapter Arts Centre. 'The sculptor, Robert Kennedy, felt that the Garden Festival was a huge, themed social event in itself. He wanted to create a themed garden within it, something social, commenting to some extent on the diversity of culture within real society.'
     A number of sculptures were commissioned for the Garden Festival of Wales in 1991/2 and some works remain on site.

Greit rom, men dårlig frokost. Vanskelig beliggenhet, som gav en utfordring for å finne hotellet, selv med GPS

Bra beliggenhet. Hotellet har sett sine beste dager, heisen er «midlertidig» ute av drift, og har nok vært det noen måneder…. Sikkert et flott hotell i sin tid, men nå skriker det «renovering» høyt og tydelig!

Location is perfect! The room was a bit outdated, and could have been better cleaned. AC, but still quite hot. Breakfast good, but no vegetables. I forgot mye blouse in the room, did not realise before after leaving the city. Have tried to contact them, but no replies.....
