Siblings

Following on from the 2016 commission ‘Colourblock Cranes’, Morag Myerscough builds on a narrative of re-imagining functional spaces and components on the Peninsula, celebrated through bold pattern and colour.

Myerscough’s patterned installation artwork Siblings shrouds the vent shafts on either side of The Tide creating a vibrant threshold and elevating the banal into something extraordinary. Bold and dynamic colours of blue, yellow, pink and green are intertwined in geometric patterns. The illusionary patterns distort and enhance the existing structures which reach the height of 10 metres. 

Morag’s mantra is ‘make happy those who are near and those who are far will come’. Born and bred in London, Morag has always lived in the city and has been fascinated by how words, colour, pattern and structures can change brutal urban environments and people’s perceptions of spaces into places. Morag’s work is characterised by an engaging boldness, creating specific, local responses to each distinct audience that will see and experience the work, using it to create community and build identity. 

You can find Myerscough's Siblings underneath The Tide at the end of Peninsula Square.
