Boundaries
Boundaries, Furnace

Molten iron was poured into an arched shaped mould spanning the Deskry Water (a small tributary of the river Don) and a local boundary.
This major project involved a performance/ installation utilising a purpose build furnace for casting iron, and resulted in a permanent new work spanning the burn. Boundaries was developed with Professor George Beasley of Georgia State University in Atlanta, USA and Helen Denerley, Strathdon, Aberdeenshire in collaboration also The Scottish Sculpture Workshop. The project involved the whole community of Glen Deskry in the performance, and was broadcast live by satellite to International Sculpture Centre conference, Pittsburgh PA. About 250 people watched in the remote glen while an equal number watched on screen at the conference in the USA.

Coast Festival, sculptures by Rob Mulholland
Pointing man Coast 2010

For COAST 2009 Rob created an installation of figures standing in the grounds of Banff Castle looking down toward the bay, with a lone figure down by the sea wall at Greenbanks pointing out to sea.This installation is a play on the seafaring traditions of Banff and Macduff, with the townsfolk looking out in search of the returning fleet and the distinct relationship that fishing families have with the sea. The figures have been cut in mild steel and riveted together to resemble the plate used in fishing boats; this choice and use of materials creates a resonance with our community and visitors alike.

Defence of The Lost, pouring

A performance/ installation piece by Professor George Beasley of Georgia State University in Atlanta, USA, and associates, involving a nocturnal pouring of molten iron with a rotating turntable mounted channel from the furnace to the mould, the finished casting being a curved wall shape. The channel was wooden lined to add to the pyrotechnic effect of the multiple transfers of molten metal from furnace to cast.
