Vertex




Commisioned in 1979 Vertex is the first of the artist's many public works.  Sited in the centre of Harlow New Town on the Broad Walk the piece is in remarkably good condition as seen on the day of my visit (July 2017).  This is in no small part to the choice of a dove grey bardolino marble sourced from Carrara.

Hinge


Hinge is a piece sited in the Gibberd Garden in Harlow, Essex - established by Sir Frederick Gibberd and continued after his death by his wife Lady Patricia.  She, in particular, maintained a relationship with the artist and collected additional pieces alongside those her husband had purchased.  Hinge is the largest work in their collection.  Carved from Locharbriggs sandstone it measures 60 x 60 x 38 inches.
