The work consists of a fun park arcade game captured on DVD/Projector with an added sound element. The work will be displayed within a purpose build structure.
Title of work - Money Splash
Money Splash was filmed and recorded at Portobello seafront. After leisurely strolling along the shore I entered the ‘Fun Park’ arcade to become immersed by an over stimulated, manic and frenzied environment.
After sometime however, the room began to contain strong similarities with the outside environment. The constant hum of the machines became calming, reassuring perhaps, the constant blinking lights entertaining, energy boosting, reminiscent of the sun.
Through sound and image Money Splash combines the vibrant swell of golden penny coins with the crash of waves as they noisily break against the shore.

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.
