Andrea Geile, hosted by the Molonys @ Bedford Terrace
Andreas work is intended to challenge the notions of garden art and land sculpture. Constructed from forged steel poles the work will be planted into the hosts garden.
Title of work – Petalostia gigantea ‘Rostbraun’
The garden is a scene of fascination for Edinburgh based artist Andrea Geile who aims to create a contemporary version of ‘Gartenkunst’, challenging notions of garden art and land sculpture. Interested in our complex relationship with the ‘natural’ world, this work looks at the romantic notion of and desire for it. The title is inspired by research into Botany and Horticulture and she enjoyed naming this new cultivar. It is a quiet and unobtrusive work reflecting the setting and emulating the surrounding gardens. The group hovers above the planting and slightly moves in windy conditions like tall grass.

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.
