Industrial definitive patterns from geometric forms and crisply defined objective clarity in constructivism.
This was one of the many bits of 'wall furniture' within the Victorian section of Lincoln Prison. I'm not altogether sure of its purpose, other than it relating to the cell number it is situated outside. Answers on a postcard, please.
Created with Dream Wombo and my texture as the input.

Andy Scott's beautiful mermaid and guardian overlooking the M80 motorway at Cumbernauld close to Glasgow.
Arria has the form of a female figure, with two large swooping arcs from the upraised palms of her hands to the hem of her dress. The idea of the arcs comes from the Gaelic name for Cumbernauld, “comar nan allt”, which translates as “the meeting of the waters”.
her name comes from the mother, Arria Fadilla, of Roman emperor Antoninus who was responsible for building the nearby Antonine Wall across Scotland so has historical connections with the area.
Andy Scott is a celebrated Scottish artist also known for amazing artworks such as The Kelpies at the Helix, Heavy Horse on the M8 motorway, Rise in Glasgow and Lomondgate Stag.

The small cylindrical item in the foreground is one of the Folkestone Triennial art installations from 2014, called Pent House 2 by Diane Dever and Jonathan Wright, marking a point in the course of the now buried Pent Stream.
The two upstanding pipes are cast iron vent stacks from a sewer.
