Pride Preparations

It's the 2nd Wigan Pride event on Saturday and our town centre public art piece "The Face of Wigan" has been upgraded ready for the day. I think it looks rather cool

Not sure what the face is made of - it's not Aluminum though. Steel maybe - small rectangles welded together. The mask is a fibreglass cast a mate of mine made last year - in two halves bolted together.

It is made from stainless steel. Without the rainbow it looks quite scary.
