Statues at Heathrow

One of my niggles with the BBC is that its overpaid journalists often forget to credit the artist when they write an art story, unless he or she is one of those BIG NAMES adored by the Brit. Anti-art Establishment. Here's a case in point. The BBC story about life-size wire sculptures of Tom Daley and Jason Gardner being displayed at Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5 completely ignores the artist (CLICK). Her name is Nikki Taylor. I've combined suitable shots: left: Tom Daley statue unveiled at Thermae Bath Spa, top: Jason Gardner statue at Heathrow Airport, bottom: Tom Daley being measured by Nikki. Both athletes she sculpted were carefully measured before she began work on their statues. Click the title link for Nikki's website.
