OLD FOXY

The Writers (Omega)

Well folks an early blip for today. It's Friday and Friday is Golf day and I'm working at 5pm so have to get in early.
The Writers (Omega)
Back to a little bit of culture for today's Blip.
This sculpture is on top of a mound just inside the entrance to Clyde View Park along from Braehead Shopping Centre. It is by British sculptor David Annand.
Two writers, sit at opposite ends of a bench shaped like a horseshoe (or, more likely, a representation of Omega, the last letter in the Greek letter alphabet). The bench is resting on two spheres and is also supported by the legs of the writers. Many of Annand's sculptures have poems commissioned and engraved on them to engage the public and makes them take time with the piece.
This one has inscribed on it;
"The future is waiting to be written
all weathers we lean to the task
the sky balanced on our shoulders like the past"
