Now this was a big mistake. It’s right out on the street. This sort of thing should be confined to a private garden. Somehow it reminds me of the work of the oversized norks sculptor. Douglas Avenue South Perth. I think it’s a new addition to the street. Dirty fingernails might have made it work.

Paul Nurry’s neck seems to be missing from the centre of this sculpture

About 3-4 months ago the sculpture was just the hands (no arms) and was a little different. One day it disappeared, and then a few weeks later this replaced it. I just laughed because the original looked so much nicer and this just looks pathetic. I was actually going to send a pic in of this but thought it wasn’t TWOP enough.

Another ill conceived piece. It is a tiled scene of ye olde Paris I think.

That’s really strange. Creepy almost. Not Paris, I mean the hands coming out of the ground. It’s a bit Michael Jackson Thriller-ish

It looks like it is one of the devices designed to receive your daily paper – particularly the ridiculously oversized Saturday West.

I originally thought this was the “hands” and was wondering why this was on TWOP. But since C has mentioned it, these pair of arms are clearly different and in a whole class to themselves. The original was much better! Anyone got a before & after pic?

It’s not a sculpture, these are the hands that were intended for Edward Scissorhands, but alas were not to be.

This reminds me of a certain house in the hills that TWOP should visit.
Glenlea Drive, Helena Valley, home of an enormous backyard concrete black swan. Seriously – its fading red beak overlooks the house!

C – comment number 3:
I live near Douglas, and I thought something looked different… but then I thought it was just me. So they really did change and come back uglier? Hmm.

Looks very similar to that Hungry Jacks ad where they hold an invisible whopper .
Also looks like the old body language favourite where control freaks have steepled hands.
But aside from that it is a truly and deeply horrendous piece of art.

They’ve grown. I wonder what happened? I think street view is going to be great for TWOP.
