... This unusual sculpture was created by sculptor David Horn, whose creative aims are to show the repetition of life, generation after generation, evolving and growing into all available space - the constant repetition in all manner of living.
The sculpture originally `resided` in General Rees Square, where the lift is now by `Shaws the drapers`.
.. At one time it was painted black, but is now back to it's original colour `white` and resides outside Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre.
June Tamplin comments: Originally, in the early 1970`s or late 1960`s it could be found next to the Parade in Cwmbran Town shopping centre I remember that relatively speaking it was very expensive (thousands of pounds) but I don't recall how much and was very controversial, considered a huge waste of money when other more important projects needed funds. Cwmbran folk were not quite ready for such a contemporary piece of art work. There was much debate in the local media as to what it ACTUALLY resembled!
