100ft Breasts

The 65ft high metal statue, The Angel of the North, overlooks the drivers of England’s A1 motorway near Gateshead in the North.  In two/three years time a huge goddess with 100ft breasts stretching nearly half a mile of the dual carraigeway will greet them as a mining company redevelopments the area.

Charles Jencks, the renowned landscape sculptor behind the designs, said: “When finished you will see the most incredible curvaceous woman lying there with her left leg over the right and her hair spread out.”

“When most mining companies finish at an open-cast site, they fill it and turn it back into farmland. We wanted to do something that would give back something positive to the community.”

Jencks plans to reveal his full designs, including models and paintings, at an exhibition in the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Newcastle on April 20.
