Description: | Human figure bent up to fit into niche in concrete wall of walkway beneath Hallgate flats. The niche is a rectangular opening right through the wall to the outside, with concrete slabs top and bottom. The figure is in black granite, naked and stylised, on his back with legs bent up, supporting the weight of the top slab on his head, shoulders and knees. The head is turned towards the walkway, through the crook of his left arm, and the right hand is coming through legs to clasp his right foot. He appears to be holding up the wall on top of him. Additional Information: A man all but crushed by upper and nether concrete lintels; the figure . . . . is Eric Lyon's way of telling us that Span's achievement did not come cheap'.(1) | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Godwin, Keith | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6981... | Go to resource |
