Anchor Buoy, by Clare Waddle (photo courtesy Angela)Clare Waddle, hosted by Jo Burns @ Esplanade Terrace

Creating two and three dimensional work Clare’s work is based around household craft and antiquated domestic objects and interiors. Focusing mainly upon furniture and ornament she explores the use of reproduction and preservation. Her work continually references the make up of the dwelling and human intervention alongside the traditional and kitsch aesthetic.

Title of work – Anchor Buoy

Anchor Buoy will take the form of on oversized circular lifebuoy; the piece is made up hundreds of interwoven small cast plaster anchors.

The work will be predominantly white with three orange stripes as seen on an original lifebuoy. Constructed onsite – the nature of the space will determine the final presentation.

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
