Draft for update of article Dream (sculpture)
edit
Dream is a sculpture, a piece of public art, in St Helens, Merseyside, England.
Dream was designed by the Spanish artist and sculptor Jaume Plensa as part of The Big Art Project organised by the television company Channel 4 in 2009. It is sited on an old slag heap of Sutton Manor Colliery which closed in 1991 and it overlooks the M62 motorway. It consists of an elongated white structure 20 metres (66 ft) tall, weighing 500 tons, which has been carved to resemble the head and neck of a young woman with her eyes closed in meditation. The structure is coated in sparkling white Spanish dolomite, as a contrast to the coal which used to be mined here. It cost nearly £1.9 million and it is hoped it will become as powerful a symbol in North West England as Antony Gormley's Angel of the North is in North East England.[1] Dream has also attracted a certain amount of controversy. Some local residents and commuters believe that the sculpture looks somewhat phallic. This appearance being attributed to the hard to make out features of the face, the elongated shape of the sculpture and the parting of the hair at the top that resembles the shape of the Glans Penis.[2][3][4]
