I’m willing to bet some trees around that corner would have looked nicer and been cheaper.

Having said that, it is one of the better looking pieces of public art I’ve seen.

Ahhh, maybe it is part of series started by the owl. Some sort of huge ßú??þ????

I’m thinking impossibly groovy aliens with an indecipherable message on their spaceship. I’m thinking Jesus wept (and that was over a health issue). It looks like it should open out into some other shape. I wonder if it’s about grief?

It’s beautiful, at least in these photos. But it makes the building behind it look so ugly. (Probably not very hard to do.)

They have ripped off the plastic reamer I got from Ikea, but it’s quite fetching.

However, what about the horrible sewerage smell that hangs around the area between the two health buildings? Fixing that would seem to be a good idea.

Looks like a giant tear drop cheese grater!

It is a reptoid egg. Just wait until it hatches.

A friend has suggested it should be called “The Tears of the Taxpayer”
