Siblings
Morag commented, “I confronted the structures as two imposing brutalist towers, with two small bunkers sitting slap bang in the middle of The Tide. I was excited by the prospect of getting my hands on this small disparate family, getting them to relate to each other and respond to their new surroundings. By using vibrant colours I made them bold and strong, making them belong.”
Bold and dynamic colours of blue, yellow, pink and green are intertwined in geometric patterns wrapped around the shafts. The illusionary patterns distort and enhance the existing structures which reach the height of 10 metres.
