Glasgow Folio

GARDEN FESTIVAL

1990 (74.5" x 44.5")
WATERCOLOUR ON PAPER
Scottish Power P.L.C.

Glasgow's turn to host a garden festival was a great success despite indifferent weather. The large acreage it covered on the South Bank of the Clyde near Govan is now a Science Park. At the time it was divided up into many different themed areas.

The artist chose this non-themed common area as it was open enough to introduce many people at once as well as key elements of the site like trams and the famous crane which is a landmark on the opposite river bank.

There are four other works on this subject : The Mirrored Garden, The Wonderful Metal Man, Drum and The Bicycle.
