An interesting road not taken in Singapore public art. This work was fashioned by the owners of the famous Aw Pottery in Ayer Hitam, Malaysia, and it displays considerable liveliness, a quality that almost outweighs its clumsiness. The work, and its necessary companion ('on the other end'), have also weathered their quarter-century here very well, in front of the first major hotel built on Orchard Road. I wonder why more works were not commissioned from the Aw brothers? One popular guidebook says of them that they are here to frighten those who would otherswise not declare their minibar consumption. The makers are credited with a little tag affixed to the back of the figures that says ' Made by the Aw Pottery, tel 235-6546'.
