Google Maps screenshot of Cardiff. The wall of Cardiff castle is on the left , then there is a road and the Angel Hotel on the right. It matches the previous image.
Superted, Spottyman and Blotch on a pavement, seen from the side. There is a wall with a stone animal in front of them and a castle behind them. Superted's rocket is parked in the castle grounds.
The same image taken from Google Maps in November 2022 but without the rocket.
Kicked off St David's Day watching Superted's 1980s road safety videos and matching them to their actual locations in Cardiff.

The artwork reflects de Chirico's metaphysical painting style, often characterized by enigmatic architecture and an eerie, dreamlike atmosphere.

i think this isn't that unusual. the work is a big, difficult, active thing that you engage in or think about most days for years. then the award stuff just kind of... happens to you afterwards
