Floating heads.


I've no idea what the title of this installation is or who is responsible for it, but I liked its odd juxtaposition with the museum exhibits below it. The position was probably chosen for purely practical reasons but seeing these suspended heads turning above me made me think of Pawleys' Peepholes again, disembodied people looking down on us from some 24th century museum as we looked at the exhibits from even earlier ages.

Many thanks for the trip to Glasgow, especially liked the heads and Big Bertha - she combines 2 of my current obsessions, - big women and cranes. I have to make a vessel for TAGS exhibition. The theme is the Maltings and the way it is changing [into expensive new apartments obviously] so there are many cranes swinging around the hard hats. I want to do some kind of synthesis of the 2........

I've only been to Glasgow to change trains. It seems I must give it another go. Loved Doggie and the heads.
