THE DESCENT

… a fragment falling through time …what appears to be dead ... and later proves to be alive ...

Leaves and mechanical detritus fall through time, referring to both the time of the year and the times we live in. Nature renews herself each year ... and man renews his processes over and over again through the seasons.

This bronze, cast in the artist’s studio, is a fragment of a sculpture proposal (shortlisted), was created for Solihull in the Midlands, which had been the hub of mechanical engineering ... now redundant.
