Room Service @ Pollok House

This looks quite interesting.

James Rigler produces objects that respond to the built environment around us. Working predominantly in ceramics, the language he uses speaks about the space his work occupies. He is preoccupied with forms, colour-ways and patterns from the canon of architectural history and interiors. At Pollok House Rigler will respond to the grandeur and formality of the house in its heyday. Through out the main house, gardens, and servants’ quarters  Riglers’ interventions create new narratives and offer an alternative interpretation of the house and its contents, encouraging visitors to look again at the many features and details throughout the house and gardens that make Pollok House such a gem.

Opening Times: daily (9am–5pm)

The China Closet in the servants' quarters will be re-tiled with a graphic motif reminiscent of 1950’s Capri as Georgian Scotland, adding colour to a place that has been reserved for the pragmatic and utilitarian.

The Gazebo adjoining the formal garden and front lawn will have a frieze added, echoing the house exterior’s detailing of wildlife and natural fauna, repositioning and restyling the manner in which architectural features magnify the incidental in the world they inhabit.

A pair of objects in the Main Hallway reference a bird cage or a lantern and pay homage to the unusual ceiling rose – a flying eagle grasping a pendant light – and nod to the hand-painted wallpaper upstairs, as well as the feathers that adorn the stucco and exterior walls.
