The coldest installation I have ever done




March 12th, -2 Celsius, driving wind, Jubilee Campus Nottingham.

The sculpture finally arrived on our shores. After winter hibernation at the Petacci quarry, the sculpture and plinth were shipped, on a lorry, to its final destination.

A 100-ton capacity crane was needed to lift the work into place; the only real problem was the biting wind, which made it difficult for the installation team, as well as cement and resins to function properly.





But after a good days’ work, it was finally there.
