Description: | A relief sculpture made of cut and forged steel, attached to the side of an abandoned storage shed, next to the metro tracks. The central motif of an early steam engine is painted bright yellow. To the left is a grey-painted horse-drawn wagon team, and to the right is a steam engine and wagons. One of these has the word 'JUPITER' cut through its side. Additional Information: 'Steam' was constructed by Doyle with the help of local trainees. The work has relevance both to the old railway and modern metro, alongside which it is situated. It was commissioned and funded by North Tyneside Council as the first in a proposed scheme to site sculptures along the route of the old steam railway. However, the project did not continue after 'Steam' was installed.(1) | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Doyle, Aidan | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7514... | Go to resource |
