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..

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

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

    Looks like he spotted you just as he was going to take a bite.

    Looks like he didn't want to share his sandwich with you.

    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

    Fun sculpture that makes us reflect on our own time to eat lunch on a park bench.

    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 😉
