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.

"Stayed at this flat with my sisters for an xmas shopping weekend, perfect for us to catch up. Clean and cosy. The only slight frustration was there was no parking permit as stated and nobody replied to my call or text. I stuck a note in the window and luckily did not get a ticket. Parking is very restricted otherwise, could find nothing on road outside. Get this right and it would be 5 stars"

"We really enjoyed staying on the race horse farm and experiencing being in the rural area. The pub on the hill has excellent food and very friendly staff. The host were kind and drove us around as we didn’t have a car. Phil is an ex rugby player so we had lots to chat about. Would highly recommend staying here and hope to be back again."

5/5 Excellent

"Check-in was friendly and smooth. Room was spacious, clean and comfy; shower was particularly good. Only areas for improvement - there were couple of minor areas needing repair (card slot to turn on lights coming off and hand soap nozzle loose) and could do with more hangers in the wardrobe. Breakfast had a lot of choice and very good quality in a lovely setting. Location is very convenient for city centre. Overall a great stay and fantastic value for money, will definitely be back."
