I like it because of the textures and because it’s 3D. It's very interesting how it looks and evokes sand and metal in a way that refers back to nature, and not to concrete. How is holding its shape? Is it supposed to move? Did it move when they put it up? Or is it rigid and structural? It looks soft and like you could run your hands through it?
The colours and their lustre feels natural. It looks luxurious and svelte and yet it retains its connection to nature.
Glen Onwin RSA is a distinguished Scottish artist working with ideas involving the landscape, geology, and the elemental make-up of the planet.
Glen Onwin RSA: ‘From formlessness to a study of a salt marsh near Dunbar to explorations of the basic substance of salt and its meaning both physical and psychological; the increasing changes to our planet’s subtle ecology brought about through human activity; from earth, air, fire and water, from Hydrogen to element 118 Ununoctium; in my creative practice I am interested in exploring the means by which we have attempted and still attempt to understand and derive meaning from the physical world we inhabit and its relationship to the cosmos.’
