STRIDING FIGURE, GHOST.

Jesus College, Cambridge, 'Sculpture In The Close 2015.' This impressive figure can be seen in Library Court. One of several variations in bronze by Thomas Houseago.  To quote....The enormous anthropomorphic figure seems to bring together several mythical figures in one, such as Frankenstein's monster. 'Ghost' suggests an inhabitant of an afterlife, kept alive through force of memory, driven forward by fixation and haunted by unfinished business.........treadingthe earth of  an imaginary world in which  their disintegrating bodies gain an impossible strength with every step.   The extra is another view. The last exhibition was in 2013/14 and I put them on my journal at the time. As the college is quite handy for me to get to, I shall go in and photograph the other sculptures whenever I can. A few I can't get at as they are in the Master's private garden and another by Anthony Gormley is in the library.
