Tramline (Working Title 'Resilience') 2024
Built in the 12th century, St Mary Redcliffe church has survived subsequent war and disaster. As bombs rained down around Bristol during the Good Friday Blitz of 1941, a tramline was thrown up from the city centre by a bomb blast and embedded itself in the church grounds. The tramline reminds us how close the church came to the destructive power of manmade nature and how the resilience to rebuild and renew for the future is always a more poignant force for good. This partly commissioned sculpture by CEG and Art Acumen for 'Creative Journey's was made from the form drawn from the top of the tramline. This former was used to turn several plaster shapes, these would be moulded and cast into a translucent column 4.5M H x 2M at its widest point.

'Journey' 2022
This was a proposal for a walkthrough sculpture at Ripon Cathedral. This work is intended to celebrate the life of one of England's most enigmatic Bishops, St Wilfrid (633-709), who was not only a devout ecclesiast but also a builder of churches and patron of the arts. From his pilgrimage and travels in Rome in 653, he was instrumental in influencing some of the first churches to be built in England.

Sculpture for St George 2008
Proposal for a monument to St George. Divided by cross-cutting the sculpture into eight separate sections, half of the sculpture would be a traditional Roman legionnaire, and the other would be a modern soldier in state-of-the-art armor.
