Turning Point

Back in the land of connectivity, so I’ll start to catch up hopefully. This is a bronze sculpture on the Mall in Armagh; it was created in 1992 by Brian Connolly for Belfast and later relocated to Armagh. It is rather good; officially it’s described as “Supported by two male and two female figures, a tilted globe with raised lines of longitude and latitude and numerous low relief symbols, patterns and objects, all upon a two-stepped circular base.” Unofficially, you look through the person closest to your height and see ‘stars’ from the deliberate holes in the globe.
 
Best on black.
