The Editor,
What a relief it was to walk around Garry Point Park today and to find that the Big Red Blob (also known as Wind Waves) has finally left us!
Now our beloved park can be restored to its former wild beauty. It certainly does not need any public "art" to enhance it.
However, I was very concerned to hear that more "art" is likely to be inflicted upon us in the near future. If this is the case, could we not have something with a more site-appropriate theme, such as a boat or a ship sculpture, marine animals or sea birds?
The ugly upside-down heads by Lansdowne or the shiny silver thing by Rona were totally inappropriate and bordering on obscene.
Better still, why not put all that money required to install these sculptures to a more meaningful use. That is, to support and sustain our local art and culture, something that would benefit the whole of Richmond?
