For this posting we will have to create a new genus - deceptioni deskium. Is it a bird , is it a plane no it's a reception desk and not a left over alien egg prop from a Quatermass series. A reception desk never to forget. Who needs DDA or practical visitor surfaces when you have art, but this time by a real artist - sculptor Stephen Broadbent ( student of Arthur Dooley). There won't be any student pranks fulfilled in the lifting of this desk as it is made from cast aluminium and not fibre glass as you would suppose. Once you have got over from being hit between the eyes with its apparent mass you need to get up close, don't be shy, to see surprisingly, the finer detail - 'low relief imagery of Liverpool Docks throughout the centuries'. We will definitely be booking a place on the ferry to visit this and hopefully get some further detail to share with you.
Stephen's enlightened client for these objects is the Beetham Organisation in the West Tower, Liverpool.
