What should the sculpture be of?

A public sculpture twice as high as the Angel of the North and intended to be visible from road, rail and air, is to be built in the south of England.

Five artists have been shortlisted for the £2m public art commission sited on a hilltop in north Kent, including Turner Prize winner Mark Wallinger.

The work will mark the new Ebbsfleet International station and the planned transformation of Ebbsfleet Valley.

It is expected to be completed on a site next to the A2 by 2010.

"It is an iconic thing we're trying to create here," said Allan Willett, chairman of the selection committee, and Lord Lieutenant of Kent.

He said the new sculpture, the height of Nelson's Column, would represent the regeneration of north west Kent, and the growth of London eastwards.

    as someone who's used Ebbsfleet, it is one boring place to be, and could do with something interesting there

    Because of the location it's got to be a large representation of the fragments of the Swanscombe Skull displayed in some arty farty abstract manner.

    It's going to be a big white van elephant horse, you'll be delighted to hear.

    and it'll be built at Springhead Park, Swanscombe (which will make sense if you know the area, I suppose).

    I know it well, plenty of space there (nice little cut through to Swanscombe High Street from the A2 there)
