The BurMan

I am a 195 foot tall proposed piece of public sculpture which does not yet exist & may never do.I think Leeds missed out big-style on Anthony Gormley's Brick Man. This was supposed to be 180 FOOT tall! For those of you who have ever stood in awe at the feet of the Angel of the North, this was supposed to be THREE TIMES HIGHER! This is why I have decided on 195 foot. This makes me exactly three times higher than the Angel. The height of twelve double-decker buses.Burmantofts was 'created' at the same time as Briggate. Anyone who bought a slot on Briggate also got a 'toft', a field, just to the east of town, & became a 'Burman', one of the first free-men of the city.Later, Burmantofts & Quarry Hill became the site of the LEEDS FIRECLAY CO, which produced the bricks that built the city, & later the green decorative tiles known as Burmantofts Faience, which adorned the Victorian world. I propose therefore that my bodymass should be made of old bricks & old green tiling. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
