My job has changed and I've not been permitted, and no longer have the time, to update this site - much as I would wish to continue to do so.
Since 'Cutting Edge' has just won the Marsh Award 2008 for Public Sculpture (joint winner with a War Memorial near Lichfield, Staffordshire) I felt this much needed adding - apologies for the lack of other new information but it is due, as they say, to circumstances beyond my control.
I hope to occasionally update existing material.
