The empty plinth

From Mr Derek Birnie

From Mr Derek Birnie

Sir, I feel rather insulted that anyone could think that the plinth in Trafalgar Square is empty (letters, July 30 and August 5).

My latest piece of conceptual art, Vacuum at the Heart of Government, a work which took me months of painstaking effort to conceive and implement (not to mention the difficulties in simply getting it up there), is my magnum opus.

I hope it can stay there for as long as possible and not be replaced by some crass statue or sculpture.

Regards,

DEREK BIRNIE,

Inverurie, Aberdeenshire AB51 3QB.
