Ladyburn Aspiration

This beautiful sculpture can be seen just outside the Ladyburn Business Centre (Riverside Business Park) at the east end of Greenock.  It is called "Aspiration" (2008) and is by Scottish sculptor Keith McCarter.  His work can be found all over Britain and abroad (click on link for bio.)

What does it represent?  I've always thought that it was like a nib from a fountain pen because of its position right outside what used to be Ladyburn Primary School.  Others have different opinions.  Perhaps we are just meant to put our own meaning on the work.

It is situated in a little seated area outside the business parks on East Hamilton Street, Greenock.
