AFAIK you can sculpt with any sculptable material so this works for me.

Hi, ... :

 

[Midland Red]

This statue, made by Liverpool sculptor Tom Murphy in 2003, was commissioned by ‘The Sound of Fury’ fan club following six years of fundraising and donations from fans, both members and non members, from home and abroad. It was very kindly donated to National Museums Liverpool by ‘The Sound of Fury’ as a lasting tribute to Billy, one of Liverpool’s greatest stars. It was originally displayed in the courtyard of the former Museum of Liverpool Life, before moving to its current location in March 2007.

Survival of the Fattest" by Jens Galschiøt and Lars Calmar, 2002.


​

The sculpture refers to the economic and social imbalance in the world. The woman holds the scales of justice in one hand, which degenerates into a symbol of self-righteousness in the face of reality.

The sculpture is located in the harbor of Ringköbing, Jutland, Denmark.

​

Best regards, Uli

Hi, in Bad Homburg/D :

A big sign on a public building telling us that "Kaiser Welhelm is bad" is a step further than we've ever gone in criticising our royals...
