Wonder

Take a trip to the seaside during the Edinburgh Art Festival. Visit Edinburgh’s Portobello Beach, where Hill Jephson Robb transforms the landscape with an ambitious temporary sculpture created from 10,000 sandbags.

Hill Jephson Robb was born in Glasgow, Scotland and read Economics at Glasgow University before graduating from The Royal College of Art in 2003. His work brings together art and design to create sculptures and installations which invite physical interaction.

In homage to Carl Sagan, in response to the sculpture and in collaboration with The Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, star gazing evenings will be organized at Portobello Beach.
