Still
Loch Earn, Scotland
The solitary figure of Still stands at the head of a Loch Earn. The figure symbolises the physical and spiritual relationship between humans and the natural wilderness. The figure is in constant flux; the small panels that form the sculpture are being torn away with the prevailing wind, re-shaped by the natural forces. Still investigates the fundamental aspects of self awareness and our connection with our environment.

Rob was invited to submit a site specific proposal by the selection committee of the 17th Icheon International Sculpture Symposium. Five International and four Korean artists were selected to create new sculptures for a permanent exhibition in Seolbong Park in August 2014. This permanent sculpture installation is inspired by the multi – faith belief in the migration of the human soul.

In the spring of 2014 Rob was approached by Red Bee Media Ltd to create an art installation to commemorate the centenary of the First World War. This would be filmed to create a trailer for BBC First World War documentaries.
In collaboration with creative directors Tom Woodington and Robin Temple of Karmarama, Rob developed a group of six mirrored figures representing the Tommie’s returning home after the war.
The aim was to capture the comradeship and reflective mood of the soldiers returning home after the noise and horror they had endured at the front. Their ethereal presence aimed to create a vestige of their mark on the landscape, a moment in time captured and envisaged a century later. The VT trailer will be used to introduce various BBC documentaries commemorating the war.
