Statues

The Gleaner’ a statue by John Knox, stands in the grounds of Stormont in Belfast.
Originally exhibited as part of the 1951 Festival of Britain, this sculpture shows a woman on a bended knee gathering, with the inscription ‘Thrift is the gleaner behind all human effort’. 
It is a timely reminder of our throw away society. Need or greed?
