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.

"Booked the house to stay, 5 months in advance. Had no contact from the owner, so emailed with 1 month until stay date. Was assured everything was fine. They contacted a week and half before stay date to cancel due to routine maintenance. Three hours on the phone to book somewhere else, to be told I had to wait 72 hours before we could rebook. Asked to have my money back and was told 14 days for a refund. Shocking service!"

Celtic Manor Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Always enjoy our trips to the Celtic Manor. A fantastic hotel / resort. Superb facilities for all the family, whilst also very relaxing as a couple. Superb room. We went for Signature King Room which was certainly worth the extra £20 for all the extras we got on what is in essence their executive children free floor (6th floor) with use of the Signature Lounge. We would certainly look to do this in future. "
