Roundabout sculpture, Whiteabbey
A sunnier look at the sculpture previously seen in Image For the record it is described in the Newtownabbey Borough Council website as “Designed as part of an ongoing environmental improvement scheme, the sculpture aims to create a sense of place when entering Whiteabbey. The landmark sculpture represents the famous maritime heritage of Whiteabbey and is also inspired by the monks who wore white robes at the local abbey. Blue was chosen for the beacon colour as it is commonly used to signify truth and security. The wind vanes show the changing wind direction which would have been important to shipping and sailing. Designed by the Landscape designer and Sculptor Stephen Todd who was responsible for landmark sculptures in Coleraine, Manchester and York. He has also been commissioned to create a landmark in Dubai.”
