Oddities

[The Egg Man]

Hirst wouldn't get out of Tracey Emin's Unmade Bed for the £50,000 this 'mural' took out of money which should have been used for housing.

A truly disgraceful waste of money.

Having worked with a number of construction firms recently - there seems to be a practice of incorporating some form of public realm / public artwork in the planning stipulations / consents for new developments, this is not just a local Glasgow or Scottish thing.

Im certain the developer would have footed the build - Yoker now has a non working water wheel / & several large mice opposite Yoker Park on Dumbarton Road - which was funded by the developers site of the new builds on the old power station site, although the design of it came about through involving 2 local schools and an art student.

It's hard to believe Yoker has survived all these years without a non working water wheel and several large mice.

The fencing is still there which may explain its cleanliness.

Interesting but what the hell does it represent?

Interactions with water
Represents nature & industry , capturing the hedgehogs found in the back gardens, and boats moving & being built on the Clyde.
