I have been reading about Anish Kapoor’s Olympic sculpture, to mark London’s hosting of the Olympic Games in 2012…

This tangled and twisted structure (with a viewing platform) alludes to the five Olympic rings, and will be 115m high, and will cost £19.1m to build. Kapoor wanted the sensation of unstability; I think he must have meant instability or possibly even unsuitability… off balance, out of kilter, a helter skelter on acid, with all the hideous, tortured appeal of a car crash wreck.. It will indeed be ‘a stunning spectacle’ as expressed by London’s mayor, Boris Johnson…
