Controversial artist, Damien Hirst has
proposed a 66 ft 10
inches giant sculpture of a naked pregnant woman holding a sword.
The work, Angel of the West, to be erected in a car park,
according to sources from the U.K will be on loan to the Devon county, southwestern
England.

Hirst, the sources said, wants the local county to have the statue on
loan for 20 years if they grant him the necessary permission.
However, Hirst’s
idea of an ‘Angel’ has already divided the community known as a teenage
pregnancy black-spot. Some residents of Devon have dubbed the sculpture, ‘The Belly of the South’.
But councillor Mike Edmunds thinks differently. He was quoted saying “We have got to
find new ways of attracting visitors. We are lucky to have an artist of Damien’s stature
in the area and we want to start rebranding the town in the area of the arts
rather than as just a traditional resort.’
