Sculptor: Rona McNicol

Date 2012

Location: Earlston Place, Roystonhill

Description: A combined sculpture and light installation overlooking the M8. The work at Earlston Place in Roystonhill, was commissioned by Spire View Housing Association.

The star’s shadow is etched with drawings of ‘yesteryear’ made by local senior citizens, and aspirational statements by the children of nearby primary schools.

This resulted in the installation representing themes of health, wealth and co-operation.
