Happy St Davids’ Day
Don’t know if you may have already seen this dragon on the Welsh news today but don’t think it will have been on anywhere else. A business man in Wrexham came up with the idea, a kind of Welsh version of the Angel of the North. I think it will be an impressive sight if it actually gets off the ground so to speak, the proposal is for it to be 200 foot high – higher than Nelson’s Column. My only query is why does it appear to be standing on a pile of Chris Ofili’s elephant dung ?
The man with the idea is Simon Wingett (left) with artist Steve Winterburn, who has constructed this maquette of the sculpture, called Waking the Dragon
