This is imo an example of good public text art, located and relevant,
'accessible' without banality, durable by virtue of its limitation.
Not intending to insult Rupert's original comment. The metaphor is perhaps
also a
problem though. We do live and think in buildings and other constructions,
where people are together. The artist as wild rover is perhaps a limiting
fantasy? Yes, there is also homelessness and exclusion. Also the outside of
a minority language, like Welsh, which is having a resurgence in Cardiff, I
gather.
