On a rainy Sunday, I'm sharing this heart-warming documentary about public art in Scotland's post-war New Towns: Meet You At The Hippos, presented by Scottish actor Mark Bonnar. It's four years old, but I’ve watched it a number of times and it never fails to make me think and to produce a smile or five.

Here's the official blurb about the hour long documentary:

"Actor Mark Bonnar is on a mission to understand more about the Scottish new towns in which he grew up, exploring the street sculpture made by artists such as his dad in the 60s, 70s and 80s. He discovers why the new towns are there and how they enticed people out of the bigger cities, and uncovers the surprising ways in which public art changed the new towns and the new towns changed public art. Mark's father, Stan, made sculptures that stand to this day on the streets of Glenrothes, East Kilbride and the Scottish new town that never was, Stonehouse. These new towns employed town artists to make artworks in the very housing precincts the new residents were moving into.”

This evocative piece, framed by the triangular roofline of a house, explores themes of identity, concealment, and authenticity. The artist's signature is subtly highlighted in the lower right corner.

"Originally created in 2017, the Magma mural draws inspiration from the volcanic history and geography of the area. Right now Magma 2, a new edition that brings even more energy and colour to the neighbourhood, is in progress." @uptownakl Jan. 16, 2025

Visually, the sculpture evokes the contours and colors of cloud formations over the Bay and hints at the silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge. Aesthetically, the sculpture looks both backwards and forwards, drawing its color from the heyday of psychedelic music, the Summer of Love, and San Francisco’s prominence in the Beat poetry movement, while also referencing the contemporary Bay Area as a hub of innovation and interconnectivity for the world of technology.

Echelman achieved the sculpture’s physical presence by braiding fibers and knotting twine into sculptural netting suspended from powdercoated steel armatures. Despite their large scale, more than 120 feet in circumference for a single form, her sculpture is experienced as ephemeral and weightless.
