Andy Scott Sculpture |
| BBC News The first images have been released of a £250,000 sculpture which is designed to boost the image of one of Scotland's most maligned towns. A milestone in the construction of a landmark sculpture set to go on display in Cumbernauld has been reached. The 10m (33ft) steel structure, of a female form incorporating two large swooping arcs, will overlook the A80 at Cumbernauld in North Lanarkshire. The town is a former "winner" of the infamous Carbuncle award for the most dismal place to stay in Scotland. The sculpture, created by artist Andy Scott, will be unveiled this summer. Mr Scott has also produced several notable public artworks in Scotland, including the M8 Heavy Horse and Falkirk Helix Water Kelpies. Work 'progressing' The first images released of the Cumbernauld sculpture show Mr Scott working on the 1.5m (5ft) head section, which is made of steel plates. The hair has been sculpted in a 1960s-style reflecting the early days of Cumbernauld as a new town. Over the coming months, the artist will complete other key areas such as securing the internal bracing of the sculpture, fabricating the two sweeping arcs and galvanising. Mr Scott said: "I am happy with how the sculpture is progressing."

 I've always been intrigued with steel sculpture, some of it very well done, some not so well done! Andy Scott is a master of Steel Monuments, this piece being no exception. |
