May 21st 2010 - Skyline Sculpture

A 5 metre sculpture called Skyline is situated at the base of Betham Tower. In the words of the sculptor, Oliver Barratt, 'Liverpool sends out ships to the edge of the world, which bring back cargo and history. Threads of cotton impossibly tangled, brought from the west and sent out to the east'. I enjoy looking at this tangle; a much needed tangle within the surrounding large symmetrical glass structures with their straight concrete lines.
