This art installation/sculpture in Wolstenholme Square is called Penelope. It was created by the Cuban-born sculptor Jorge Pardo who created it for the 2006 Biennial. It is inspired by Homer's Odyssey in which Penelope, the wife of Odysseus (Ulysses in Roman mythology), knitted constantly in order to remain faithful to her husband. http://www.liverpoolmonuments.co.uk/sculpture/penelope.html
