点评:We read about the Mirror Man as we toured Scotland, but were not sure where this statue now stood. Originally in Loch Earn we read it had been removed. As Loch Earn was just off our route from Loch Lomond to Oban we took the chance and went to St. Fillans.
As we drove into the town there he was standing proud a solitary figure of Still at the head of a Loch Earn. The figure by Rob Mulholland is there to symbolise the physical and spiritual relationship between humans and the natural wilderness, and what a great place to place it. The view of the loch is stunning, with the Mirror Man front and centre. The figure is meant to be in a constant flux; made from pieces of steel the small panels that form the sculpture are being torn away with the prevailing wind, re-shaped by the natural forces. Still investigates the fundamental aspects of self awareness and our connection with our environment.
The Mirror Man of Loch Earn officially titled “Still,” is a striking, life-sized sculpture made from mirrored stainless steel, the 9ft figure stands partially submerged in the loch, reflecting the surrounding landscape and blending seamlessly into the water and sky.
We discovered later that "Still" had only just been replaced in the loch. It was well worth the detour and something we were glad we had not missed.
翻译:我们在苏格兰旅行时读到了关于镜人的故事,但不确定这座雕像现在矗立在哪里。我们了解到它原本位于厄恩湖,后来被拆除了。由于厄恩湖就在我们从罗蒙湖前往奥本的路线旁,所以我们趁机去了圣菲兰斯。
当我们驱车进城时,他那孤独的斯蒂尔雕像傲然屹立在厄恩湖的源头。罗布·穆赫兰创作的这尊雕像象征着人类与自然荒野之间物质和精神的联系,而且它被安放在那里真是个绝佳的位置。湖景令人叹为观止,镜人雕像正位于正中央。雕像本身处于不断的变化之中;由钢片制成的雕塑,构成这座雕塑的小面板被盛行风吹拂,又被自然力量重塑。斯蒂尔探索了自我意识以及我们与环境联系的基本层面。
厄恩湖镜人正式命名为“静止”,是一座引人注目的真人大小的雕塑,由镜面不锈钢制成,高9英尺(约2.7米),部分浸入湖中,倒映着周围的景色,与水天一色融为一体。
后来我们发现,“静止”才刚刚被重新放回湖中。绕道而行绝对值得,我们很庆幸自己没有错过。
