Verge sculptures.. the lunch break.

 

It's been a while since I posted a sculpture so when I came across this quirky fellow eating his sandwich on a bench in Midland yesterday I was intrigued to know more. Midland has a long WA Government Railways history and is home to the Midland Railway Workshops. 'In early 2000, Kath Wheatley was commissioned to create a series of quirky long-legged sculptures which paid tribute to the strong connection between the workers, family and friends of the Midland Railway Workshop'. Next time we are in Midland I will look out for his fellow railway workers seen HERE. Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..

  1. Looks as though he needs that sandwich; his belly's completely empty!

  2. Dearest Grace,
    Quirky fellow yes, but he/it looks like a most pitiful vegetarian...

  8. I love this, I really need to get into Angouleme to see what new art there might be, but it is not going happen soon methinks! Take care Diane

  14. Cool guy. I´ll have a pizza muffin for brekkie now, Grace :-)
    Or maybe an ole slice of bread as Ingo is on holiday and doesn´t want it.
    And someone has to eat it.
    Me again. Sometimes I´m the "rubbish-bin". Kidding. Will be OK. And I join your long-legged guy 😉
