Circus
“Provos” and “victory to the hunger strikers” next to a circus mural at the rear of Rossville flats, with clowns, a monkey riding a bike, a strong man, people riding horses, a lion-tamer, and a juggler. It was painted by Joe Coyle, Noel Millar, Margo Harkin, and Tim Webster, with financial support from the Department Of Manpower Services (Watson in Circa 8.3, 1983). An anonymous painter is quoted of p.8 of Woods’s Seeing Is Believing? as saying: “The people felt absolutely no connection with it – it has to involve you or it just doesn’t mean anything.”
