British sculptor Rob Mulholland has created a series of mirrored figures and dwellings as part of an initiative titled Headlands to Headspace.
Commissioned by the Morecambe Bay Partnership, the art installation titled Settlement was created to reflect on the heritage and “the influence of people of the past on Morecambe Bay”.
With six mirrored figures and three dwellings inspired by early Anglo-Saxon design built on the coastline of The Barrows, Heysham, Lancashire, Birkrigg Common and Cumbria, the art installation “represent the communities that once settled on this land, reminding the viewer of the people who worked the land and the sea in centuries gone by.”
“By using mirrored surfaces, brings literal reflection into being, making the viewer and a distorted landscape and sky integral parts of the work,” said Mulholland. “By catching glimpses of themselves, viewers see an image not only in the present, but a hint of those who may have walked in the same landscape, a vestige of the past.”
