Believe it or not this image is not a product of Photoshop. It is a four-storey sculpture made of welded steel and created by the New Zealand artist Neil Dawson. While it looks like an optical illusion it is very much the real thing and looks equally convincing from any angle.



The giant piece of paper, which is titled 'Horizons', is located in Dawson's native New Zealand and a quick look on the web showed other examples of his work. I particularly liked 'Ferns', a metal ball in Wellington, New Zealand which is 14m above Civic Square by means of steel cables.

It looks great in daylight but is even more impressive at night because the cables become almost invisible. I wonder if Dublin City Council have any spare euros to commission a work...?
