Shields Road, 'Diving Lamps'

2002 by Artscope. Three conical pillars, split into four sections in stainless steel with shot blasted pewter-like finish and perspex. The lamps are on a flight of steps in front of the library and reduce in size to emphasise perspective. The tubular top of the lamp represents a figure diving into the pool. At night there are blue lights in the slots in the lamps. Commissioned by Newcastle City Council.
