Had it been in one of parks in the town, and away from clashing buildings and paint splashing kids, it would have settled comfortably into the environment despite its deliberately rusty looks. It appeared in 2003 and was removed in 2009 to an audible sigh of relief. That said, Warren's other work is generally well regarded.
