Two 14-tonne figures of stainless steel of around 33 feet high pay homage to the shipbuilding past and industrial history of the town. McKenna says “The technique I employ in making my steel sculpture echoes the technique of building and plating ships. I create the underlying ribs of the structure from stainless steel box sections then I cut plates of steel to make the surface for the sculpture form, in this case two men at their work. This steel plating technique gives a strong dramatic faceted surface, a great sense of mass and a solid monumental form for a public sculpture.”
