In Anticipation of Absence: New Lost Birmingham at Central Library

The paintings that adorn Central Library at present (2012), seem to me to be saying 'goodbye' to it as much as marking its presence. The building will be replaced in the next few years, but at present it "converses" with neighbouring buildings and objects, such as in the reflections of the Council House in its glass (different from every angle), and the red of this years flowers which compliments the red berries.

The murals on the library are by Lucy Mclauchlan.
