The work is an architectural and geometrical structure and represents a culmination of the artists work over the previous five years and is a move towards figurative forms from his previous conceptual works.
Portland stone was chosen fort its traditional sue in architecture and for its historical use in churches. The layered strata with embedded fossils empathises a history which acts as counterpoint to the geometrical form.
The shape has reference to the gothic church window, and one face of the sculpture represents the roughly cut shapes of Stonehenge, the lead and iron guttering referring to elements from the early industrial revolution.
Roughly cut shapes on another face of the work make parallel references to an archetypal skyscraper, the Chrysler Building.
