🚶♂️✨ Uncover Hidden Art in Cardiff’s Bollards! 🎨🔍
Next time you’re in Cardiff city centre, slow down for a moment and take a closer look at those seemingly ordinary bollards on The Hayes. They’re not just for guiding foot traffic – they house enchanting secrets waiting to be discovered!
Inside these humble posts are mini worlds created by the talented artist Jane Edden with students from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Named ‘Post Secrets’, these 11 bollards offer tiny peephole views into captivating, stylised art scenes.
Look for the vibrant orange “Edrychwch tu fewn/Look inside” and peer into these miniature narratives. From seated figures to standing silhouettes, the black and white artistry makes you feel like you’re glimpsing into another realm. It’s a sneaky treat in the bustling heart of Cardiff! 🕵️♀️🏙️
Commissioned as part of a £1.5 million public art initiative, these artworks are gems of creativity amongst the city’s street furniture. Ms Edden describes them as “a moment of stillness in a very busy street,” inviting passers-by to pause and immerse themselves in this hidden treasure.
This unique project isn’t just about looking; it’s an invitation to be part of a story that unfolds one peephole at a time. So next time you’re wandering through The Hayes, take a moment to enjoy Cardiff’s very own little secret – you might just find yourself seeing the city from a whole new perspective! 🌐👀
