THE CABINET

 

A permanent artwork, connecting the community

by exploring local history, memories and myths

The design of the PMMM draws on influences from local history and concepts of the fluidity and chronology of memories.  The cabinet stands on eight cast iron wheels taken from an early 20th century train station bogey.  This railway reference comes from the history of local railway networks that once connected outlying communities with Edinburgh City and also from the commercial railroad that once transported coal to the local gasworks.

 

The design of the stacked vitrines draws inspiration from piles of travel-trunks or transportation crates, as if arriving from another time and place, referencing themes of travel and journey as they might apply to memory, history and chronology.  The PMMM logo of the station masters pocket watch is also derived from this.

 

 

Finally, the colours of the cabinets

– orange, blue, green and grey – are taken from the linoleum floor tiles of El Mexi’s newspaper shop which served the Muirhouse community for many years and was laterally used as a studio for the artist residency.
