Shipyard sculpture, Belfast [1]
Summary
[edit]_-_geograph.org.uk_-_775484.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description |
English: Shipyard sculpture, Belfast [1] Standing at the side of the Queen's Road at the entrance to Channel Commercial Park, this sculpture is called 'Blinks' and is a tribute to the shipyard workers of Belfast.
The sculpture was 'facilitated' by artist Peter Nelson but designed and constructed by former shipyard welders themselves. The sculpture is based on the working lives of men in the shipyards and details the various trades of the workers. The piece gets it's name from the 'blinks', an irritation of the eye caused by watching the arc light of the welding torch for too long. It has been likened to having sand thrown in your eyes. |
