People don't like it. I do. And after discussing it with my year 3 art student daughter get some of the rather dubious connotations.
Yesterday Stuff asked passersby for their reaction:
Ruhe said his peers had compared the sculpture to Donald Trump's face.
The Trump paranoia, obsession, mania, call it what you will, results in people seeing him everywhere. In fact the face has more similarities to Bill Clinton than Donald Trump.
Whoever - if anyone - it is styled on, the work has done exactly what the artist wants: caused a stink.
And from the council's point of view it will fulfill its stated purpose of attracting more people to Civic Square.
