The Motherwell Tree

Steel 1988

Merry Street, Pedestrian Precinct, Motherwell

"I made this piece of sculpture as I envisaged a steel worker might. The red colour is a political gesture, and the stainless steel birds on the branch are having a union meeting. The sculpture forms a meeting place with satellite tree stumps for sitting on".

This sculpture was made for the Glasgow Garden Festival in 1988 and was made form Motherwell Steel.
