Seeing

 

“We seldom look at our surroundings. Streets and buildings, even those considered major monuments, are in everyday life little more than backgrounds for introverted thought, passages through which our bodies pass ‘on the way to work’. In this sense cities are invisible to us, felt rather than seen, moved through rather than visually taken in.”

Fitting figure

 

 

This guy has been adorned with glass bottles on his fingers, cardboard ‘clothing’, an assortment of hats. But I think this is one of the most successful installations.

FLG007 Note: This artwork is sometimes difficult to see during the day. It is best to walk between the wall and delivery vehicles to see the detail of the work.	FLG008 Note: This work has been updated with blue paint. The blue paint evokes the feel of the sea, with the portholes catching glimpses of the view beyond.
