Rob Cleland created Out and About in 2006. The paint on brick piece depicts over a dozen figures engaged in a variety of recreational pursuits. Many of the figures are children at play. There does not appear to be a unifying narrative, and each figure — or occasionally group of figures — exists in its own vignette. Despite this, the image does not appear static or lethargic. The varying sizes of the vignettes provide visual contrast. Additionally, ribbons of color spill across the wall, passing through many scenes. Almost all the vignettes are framed by a solid colored background. The figures invariably exceed the confines of their borders, providing depth and energy. The piece has remained in remarkably good condition as it passes fifteen years of age.
