The Beast, Silverburn

This sculpture outside Silverburn shopping centre was made by Scots artist Kerry Stewart. When it was installed she apparently said: "The Beast is the very antitheses of Silverburn which is clean, sleek and desirable. This is very hairy, almost dirty looking, and is designed to earth the shoppers. "I wanted to make a big hulk of a sculpture people can lift children on to for photos."
