The Attendants

Category: Contemporary Public Art

These 12 aluminium figures can be found protruding over the doorways of the Crown Street Gardens development in the Gorbals. Heisenberg worked in collaboration on this piece with Hypostyle Architects. The artwork was a commission by Tay Homes and Redrow Homes. "...The figures are an emotional response to the diasporal flux of people through the area over the last 200 years. Mysterious and commanding, they indicate a place of significance to those arriving while suggesting a reverence for the struggle of their journey." Bailey, G. 2006. p144.
