His most recent work for the Commonwealth games sees a two and a half meter tall bladed athlete placed outside Birmingham New Street station.
The inspiration for his works come from the greats of figurative sculpture, from Subirachs and Naum Gabo with their geometric portrayals to Giacometti and the Futurists with their desire to capture movement.
