I encountered this black metal sculpture on the South Bank of the Thames close by the new City Hall. The building itself was a remarkable construction looking not unlike some giant lop-sided snail that had laid this huge person-sized egg. The only black eggs that I have come across in nature belong to cuttlefish. I hope nothing is going to hatch out of this huge black metal egg and slither into the Thames.
