The Art Collection has installed 15 striking stone sculptures created by artists Hironori Katagiri and Kate Thomson.
The beautiful pieces in granite and marble are on long-term loan to the University and are a wonderful addition to the University’s Art Collection, which contains over 300 pieces.
The sculptures – three by Thomson and 12 by Katagiri – are mainly located in areas in and around the Cottrell and Pathfoot buildings, not only adding to the aesthetic of the University but supporting the artistic aims of Stirling’s Campus Masterplan.
University Art Curator Jane Cameron explained: “We are delighted to have this collection on campus and the pieces are all beautiful.
“I love Thomson’s Cloud 9 located outside the Cottrell Building. The setting is perfect and it is incredible how it has lit up the space – it is quite simply stunning. Cloud 9 allows passers-by to interact and Thomson encourages people to sit on it and touch it. For me it is almost like a doorway to the Art Collection.
“Katagiri’s Bijin (which means beautiful lady in Japanese) installed outside the entrance to Pathfoot, is quietly elegant and an exciting piece for the University as it is the first time it has been seen on public display.”
