Mothers brilliant piece on London Ink
Last week Simon Waterfall and I bumped into Laurence Thomson (aka Lolly) from Mother in the lunch queue. During lunch, Lolly told us about a sculpture they’d created to promote the tattoo TV program called “London Ink” (a UK version of the US show, “Miami Ink”) on The Discovery Channel. He had spent the previous night mounting the first, out of two sculptures, down by the Thames. When he explained the concept and idea during lunch it sounded a bit interesting, but when i saw the photos of the sculptures later on in the week the ‘a bit interesting’ turned into ‘very very nice!’.
The photos in the slideshow above was taken by Alastair Strong and Laurence Thomson.
The “Swimming Man” was placed down by London Bridge.
The “Girlfriend” was placed inside Victoria Station.
