Present & Future

Prime Four, Aberdeen. Commissioned by Drum Property Group.

2014

The Art work comprises a huge grass wave sculpture at the entrance to the Prime Four business park,with two steel heads rooted within the shore wave and the entire piece emerges from a meadow of wild flowers.

Present and Future looks at man’s endeavours in the oil, gas and the renewable energy sectors. The wave is built of tiers of tufted grass. It measures 4m at its highest crest, 50m wide and 25m deep. The male and female steel heads set within the shore wave measure 3m high. The female head resonates with the organic grass shapes and symbolises human achievement. The male head, geometric in form, faces upwards symbolising human aspiration. The changing environment is visible through the heads.
