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.

"Good budget hotel providing just the basics at a good price for a major city It is very near to the station and central shopping area. However it is located on busy street over a pub and is therefore inclined to be noisey at night. The staff were freindly and helpful and I would use it again."

"The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was spotless. Previous guests complained about noise but we had a very quiet room and were not disturbed at all."

5/5 Excellent

"Brilliant central position for a weekend in Cardiff, close to the castle and a short walk to the theatre. Room was small but had everything we needed. Breakfast was exceptional for the size of the hotel and the staff at breakfast were great."

Lovely hotel

"The hotel is lovely, we were met by a lovely lady at check ( she is from Rumania) very helpful and friendly. We thought the car park fee of £18is a bit steep but it is city centre and great that it is under the hotel. The room is lovely, very comfortable and clean."
