Articulated Opposites by Raymond Arnott
Articulated Opposites is an abstract sculpture by Raymond Arnott, located outside Swan House (now 55 Degrees North) in Newcastle. The work was commissioned by Newcastle City Council and designed as a memorial to Sir Joseph Swan, the Newcastle inventor of the incandescent light. The memorial to Joseph Swan was suggested by the council leader, T. Dan Smith. The sculpture was unveiled on the 16th of September 1969 by Joseph Swan’s son, Sir Kenneth Swan.[1]
