The Deception People - Rob Mulholland

Rob Mulholland is an artist that works with sculpture and the environment. The Vestige project looks at our relationship with the landscape, The landscape that Mulholland used for this project is in Scotland. The land was once fields, however after the 1st World War there was a vast need for timber. The area was then plated up with fast growing trees thus creating a vast, lush, green landscape. 


Rob Mulholland - Vestige

'The figures absorb their environment, reflecting in their surface the daily changes of life in the forest. They create a visual notion of non – space. A void as if they are at one moment part of our world and then as they fade into the forest they become an intangible outline.' (Rob Mulholland - http://www.robmulholland.co.uk/#/vestige/4535738995)
The figurs almost reflect the idea of the ghosts of this very landscape, and how no matter where we are we leave out mark, no matter how small. You really have to look at first to be able to see the figures, in some ways your eyes almost reject them.
