Giant Hearing Trumpet

Well that's what I think it looks like any. This sculpture is called Dismemberment. It certainly stands out against the green hills. The artist blurb as follows: Composed of a vast PVC membrane stretched between the two giant steel ellipses, Kapoor’s work is architectural, and yet it also has a fleshy quality which the artist describes as being “rather like a flayed skin”. The fleshy dark red membrane that this work shares with two earlier temporary works commissioned for the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and the Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall (refers to Joan of Arc). Kapoor has commented, “I want to make body into sky”. At the farm he achieves this. Here, the artist had to devise a form that was both freestanding and capable of surviving a constant arm-wrestle with the sky and the mercurial weather conditions.
Wow that is certainly big a cool composition

That is quite a shot of this enormous work of art. One must be able to see it for miles.

Wow, it is fabulous, I think David could do with one of these, he does have selective hearing on occasion and he wouldn't miss a trick if he had an ear trumpet like this.

An interesting sculpture. I think I would have given it a less gory title though.

A very interesting sculpture, although I don't understand the artist's description at all.
