TEF-20 Ferguson Sculpture

The TEF-20 tractor transformed crofting practices on Uist. Bought originally to work on one of the Knockintoran crofts, it now lies abandoned where it was last used.  The non-functional engine covers having been discarded, and with a seat made from a recycled plastic box, it is slowly oxidising, gradually returning to the earth from which the ore was once mined.  The hues of its rusty iron and rubber reflect the colours of the peat bog and heather on which it sits where it has become part of this landscape.
