ImageThe Power of Three, art work commissioned by the Public Art Commissioning Group of Big things on the Beach; 1 - Land Stream by Angela Beardsley

A temporary artwork encouraging momentary community interaction.

Location: On the cake stand, crossing over the promenade, over the sea wall and down almost to the waters edge.

This temporary site-specific public artwork encourages the audience to look at and interact with the promenade and beachfront in a new way. Interaction with the piece is a momentary event in the eternal flow of the land and the community. The work is a celebration of the gorse flower that once covered the land, which through lifetimes of change has created Portobello.

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.

Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.

Our current project - The Big Welcome - is supported by Creative Scotland, Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership and Edinburgh City Libraries
