Sculptor Robert Kennedy.

Six separate small upright works set on stone bases; two boxing gloves, two dolls, cherub and a skull. Information from Festival Park: 'The works were carved away from site during 1991. They are made to operate as conventional garden ornamentation, within a constructed garden. The boxing gloves are there to depict some of their associated aspects, such as maleness and competition. The dolls depict something of how an image is idealised for mass consumption, becoming a distortion of the human figure. Both the gloves and the dolls can be seen as gendering devices through role play. The cherub and skull are life and death charms. Each of these suggests ways in which we adopt roles in society. What we really are is never as clear cut as what these images suggest.'
     Borderline was supported by Garden Festival Wales and Chapter Arts Centre. 'The sculptor, Robert Kennedy, felt that the Garden Festival was a huge, themed social event in itself. He wanted to create a themed garden within it, something social, commenting to some extent on the diversity of culture within real society.'
     A number of sculptures were commissioned for the Garden Festival of Wales in 1991/2 and some works remain on site.

Bra hotellrum, nära till centrum
Centralt beläget och nära till stationen, bra rum och bättre än andra hotel. Sämst var frukosten; dyrt för litet utbud och tex äggröra som smakade fisk.

Dålig service i bar Merlin båda gångerna, servitörer stod och pratade med varandra lång stund utan att bry sig om kunderna. Falsk marknadsföring att sätta skylt med Happy hour vid hissarna när det bara gällde för ett våningsplan. Steak at Six var däremot superbt, med bra service av trevliga ...

Tråkigt och slitet med trött personal.
Det ligger inte speciellt kul, rummen är okej, men inte mer än så. Känns slitna, liksom personalen är trött och inte uppmärksamma. Bodde här som en del i ett evenemang, men skulle inte komma tillbaka.
