Damien Hirst At Ilfracombe.

Right, here’s something for you all to ‘incensed’ about.
Damien Hirst has presented the Devon town of Ilfracombe with a 66 foot tall statue of a pregnant woman.
Apparently, he likes the place.

What do I think??
Well actually, I really quite like it.
I have very happy memories of Ilfracombe from childhood holidays but when I visited a few years ago I was quietly appalled by the way it had deteriorated.
You never know, a bit of public art might help restore the place a bit.
