A giant white horse has been chosen as a new £2m art commission for
south east England dubbed "Angel of the South".

The design, by former Turner Prize winner Mark Wallinger, was selected
from a three-strong shortlist as part of the Ebbsfleet Landmark
Project.

His design for the public art commission will see a horse standing on
all four hooves at 33 times life-size.

Once built, it will dominate the north Kent landscape, standing as
high as Nelson's Column at about 164ft (50m).

I'm sure people will scoff, but my take on it is 'why not?'. The Angel
of the North was widely regarded as an extravagant indulgence when it
was being planned and built, but it has since won over a great many of
the sceptics and has become a genuine landmark.

Something that I don't think has necessarily been well recognised in
past discussions beforehand is that Ebbsfleet International station is
going to be at the heart of a whole big development, the Ebbsfleet
Valley development that's being led by Land Securities (which is in
turn part of the wider 'Thames Gateway' development concept). Stuff
I've read suggests that the planners are really trying to put in place
the foundations for a proper mixed community there - whether this will
actually work only time will tell. I'm unclear on how the economic
mega-crunch is affecting progress on the plans, though I'm sure it
will.
