The fisherman's and his friend 'Rusty Reg'

 Rusty Reg is officially known as LOOK II, it is the work of British sculptor Antony Gormley.

 Situated on the shore of Plymouth Sound, it stands 12 feet tall and is made of 22 cast iron blocks weighing approximately 3 tonnes in total. It is "stacked like a house of cards, but is also substantial, rather like the stones of Stonehenge".

It is Gormley's intention to "evoke the yearning to travel across the horizon in order to establish a new life in another place". Through this work, Gormley aims to "transmit our old-world admiration for the skyscrapers of New York while linking them to our megalithic past".
