Fog and two giraffes

The two giraffes, nicknamed Martha and Gilbert, were made from scrap metal including parts from cars and motorbikes - they were created by Midlothian born artist Helen Denerley and was unveiled by the Omni Centre 27th July 2005. The inscription surrounding the sculpture is from a poem by Roy Campbell, written in 1946, and reads “'Giraffes! a People Who live between earth and skies Each in his own religious steeple Keeping a lighthouse with his eyes.”
