Tim Taylor, hosted by the Brown Family @ Pittville Street
Tim’s work is constructed from recycled materials, for the Garden Gallery he will be introducing wooden chip forks and lollipop sticks placed within the soil of the garden, watching? the viewer.
Title of work - Gathering
Approximately 3000 chip forks, lollipop sticks and wooden stirrers (common to takeaways and the seaside) are to be arranged upright in a crowd within a garden. Surrounding the viewer, the forks, sticks and stirrers have simple faces drawn on them: two dots and a line. An expressionless gaze. The reason behind their gathering is not clear. Do they look out for help or in bafflement to the outsider’s arrival? In either case the viewer becomes the viewed.
This piece continues an ongoing investigation of the transformation of the everyday and the mundane.

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.
