It is a talking point for many people and certainly stirred up many far-fetched theories when it first arrived. The illusion of cleaning/painting is a trick of the light. We are luck to have this sculpture long may it look down on our area of outstanding beauty.

As of today (10.05.08) I know it's by John Buckley and it's called Nuba Embrace. But why is it where it is? Maybe the sculptor lives in the area?
