Blowing Against the Wind

“Blowing Against The Wind” is a unique site-specific series of works designed to celebrate the rich and layered history of Jersey’s much-loved castle. This colourful commission, featuring a series of Katrin Mountain’s iconic flags, brings to fore the spiritual history of Elizabeth Castle. Starting from the Castle’s entrance and leading to the Hermitage, the flags invite visitors to follow a thread into the past, and to find their own path amidst the stories, symbols, myths, and histories that surround and make the meaning of this place. Each flag is a work of art that disrupts the traditional idea of heraldic or national flags.
