Rope Style-Sculpture

Situated on the historically significant Lebuh Kimberley, the "Rope Style-Sculpture" is a clever steel-rod artwork that commemorates the traditional trades of the area. As part of the "Marking George Town" public art project, this sculpture provides a whimsical glimpse into the past. The artwork depicts a man skillfully twisting ropes, a trade that was once common in this part of the city. Accompanied by a humorous caption, it tells a story of the local industries and the daily life of the people who lived and worked on these streets.

This sculpture, like the others in the series, is designed to be both informative and entertaining, encouraging pedestrians to engage with the history of their surroundings. It highlights the importance of traditional craftsmanship in the development of George Town and adds a layer of cultural narrative to the vibrant streetscape of Lebuh Kimberley, a street now more famous for its incredible street food.
