Things to Come, by Scott Laverie (photo courtesy Angela)Scott Laverie, hosted by Jan & Damian Killeen @ the Promenade

Scott’s work is monumental in scale. Constructed from timber and recycled materials his work references art and architecture throughout the ages. For the Garden Gallery he will be building a process-led arching structure that grows day by day thought the month of August.

Title of work - Things to Come

The two structures will have the characteristics of a pair of defunct concrete monuments. They have been ripped from their original site and have now taken up a new residence in the garden. They appear like replicas of tree stumps that will also echo small classical temples. As the work progresses they will grow to create an arch which will eventually bridge the two structures together.

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
