Rolls and Royce

Rolls and Royce met at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. There's a terrible sculpture inside the porch of this grand building. Considering that Rolls Royce is the epitome of slick engineering, the sculpture seems oddly shoddy. Beardy's eyes don't point in the same direction. They're not even looking at each other.





Is the sculptor:

a) trying to suggest Rolls and Royce didn't always see eye to eye

b) making an artistic point by subverting the concept of the looker and the look, a la Lacan

c) rubbish

Answers on a postcard please.
