Fat Bird Sculpture
This is on the River Walk, a prominent tourist area downtown.
It’s enormous and bulbous. I think it’s ugly, but apparently this scuptor has some pull – there’s another ugly bulbous piece near the Hilton on Orchard Road. Below is the rear view:
I don’t think anybody really likes this statue. You can see that it’s up high on a plinth – it’s hard to reach, so nobody who has an urge to rub its toes or tail can do so easily. And it’s free of any shiny parts – people don’t interract with it. Compare this to the bullock cart statue about a block away in the post above.
