Art ... 7th Sculpture ...

Continuing my tour of sculpture .... this one is at Alloa Station, I reckon you could miss it when running for the train but it is interesting to find out what events led to its conception ...

Andy Scott's third sculpture for Clackmannanshire Council, which emulates Alloa's regeneration, was installed on Station Square prior to the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine railway opening in May 2008.
The sculpture features two figures - an adult wearing a flat cap and a youngster, and creates a focal point at the end of the boulevard.
The figures symbolise the working past of the town, through the adult figure, and the potential future for the town and area, personified by the child. The child in essence rises from the industrial past and looks towards the town.

so you will have gathered these sculptures were not taken in the order they were erected, but hey ho I get there in the end ... take care ... :)
