Interior quadrangle of the Italian Centre on Ingram Street. The statues of a man and his dog are shown in detail below... Thinking of Bella (1988-90) by Shona Kinloch, a Scottish sculptor. She studied sculpture at Glasgow School Of Art and has become well-known for her unique "chookie-burdie" Lamp-Posts in Garnethill. Both the man and the dog are pointing their noses at the sky, as though they were sniffing a delicious smell in the air. They also appear to be looking up at the sky, as though an aeroplane or a bird has flown overhead.
