| Emin says “This sculpture
will be a symbol of hope, faith and spirituality. My Roman Standard
represents strength but also femininity. Most public sculptures are a
symbol of power which I find oppressive and dark. I wanted something
that had a magic and an alchemy, something which would appear and
disappear and not dominate," (The bird, which is the size of a sparrow,
disappears when viewed from the front and only reappears as the viewer
moves left to right). Julian Treuherz, keeper of art galleries for
National Museums Liverpool describes the sculpture as bringing a new
dimension to an area of Liverpool already rich in great historic
buildings and historical associations. Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/4293245.stm Alan Maycock © 2007 |
