Day 192/24. Today we visited Verity.

Damien Hirst's 'Verity' stands proudly on Ilfracombe Pier, guarding the harbour entrance and looking out over the Bristol Channel. The world-famous artist has loaned the 65-foot sculpture of bronze & steel to the town for 20 years, a town he very much loves, and lives nearby.
Verity is 25 tonnes of pregnant woman. Her skin is partially flayed with internal anatomy displayed; foetus clearly visible. She is holding a sword aloft, hiding the scales of justice behind her back while standing on a pile of books, and is not to everyone’s liking. It has certainly remained a talking point since October 2012, and will remain so for many more years.
See extra pictures today for wide views to give a sense of scale and an ever so anatomical view from the other side.
She is very impressive and certainly kept the tourists talking around her.
