She's here !!

This looks kinda cool.
It's by a French born artist called Louise Bourgeois and titled Maman 1999.
It's 9 metres high and made from bronze, stainless steel and marble.

Dive dosn't go to London on Thursdays, now we know why.
Shelob springs to mind.

They had that sucker up in the Tate Modern a few years back.

Doesn't Maman mean mother?
I want it, would make a great roof for the pool and scare the bejesus out of the actual critters that think my pool is a pond.

Kate, you have a pool !!!!

cool !

You also have every form of biting, stinging, poisonous, pointy, mean, creeping, crawling nasty things on the planet down there so you should have some benefits.

Maman doe's mean mother as far as I am aware.
Fucking big Mother in this case.

Good luck for Saturday by the way.
My head says you will win but my heart says it's a repeat of 2003.

That. Is. Awesome.

Maman does indeed mean mother. Interesting fact: In some Native American epistemologies, the spider represents the grandmother spirit.

So that ties in nicely, I think.
