The impressive relief sculpture called 'Minds Eye' by Peter Randall-Page, overlooks the entrance to Cardiff University,
Psychology department.
The symmetrical pattern, repeated on two walls, form different patterns, dependant on where you are standing.
The spots are made of concrete but look as if its a cross section slice of wood.
"Commissioned by the Department of Psychology, Cardiff University with support form Artworks Wales, situated on the Tower lecture theater, Park Place. In Peter's words " Pattern recognition is a powerful characteristic of the human mind and, over the years, I have explored the boundaries of our ability to 'read' pattern by combining order and randomness in a series of 2d works. I have also long been interested in how the human imagination loves to conjure with symmetrical patterns and have made much work which explores this phenomenon. I liked the idea of incorporating a number of different kinds of cognitive illusions in one artwork. The most obvious cognitive game to play given the nature of the architecture is symmetry. By mirroring an image on both walls (Rorschach style) the full effect of the pattern would only become apparent when standing directly outside the entrance". Text Source: (
