Ring of Iron - image c/o BBC
There’s a news article on the BBC about a sculpture that has been erected near Flint Castle. The piece focuses on the opinion clashes that have been generated about the appropriateness of it. The ring of iron is seen by some as celebrating the subjugation of the Welsh by the English…and perhaps not politically correct.
An official in Cadw, Wales responded with the statement "art divides opinions, encourages debate, and can be interpreted in many ways".
And that brings me on to my interpretation. I took one look at the photo and thought “giant toilet seat”, one of the soft close type things that hasn’t finished its closure routine.
Arguably a bit shit and even less politically correct. Does the ring of iron symbolise the English taking a big dump on the Welsh?
Is it just me? Does anyone else see it?
I’ll drop my buddy Hughesy a line to discuss. He’s a Welshman and bound to have an opinion on the rusty ring piece.
