Well the day finally arrived. The sculpture project Jon Newey and I worked on last year is finally in the ground. Together we now have a piece of public art with our names on it which I hope will be around for years to come. I also hope it will be the first of many.

The piece is called ‘New cross stitch’ and can be found around the corner from  New Cross station in London. Drawing on local history the piece is represented by the line ‘Salus populi suprema lex’ (Latin “The health of the people should be the supreme law”). Within the piece we reference local history of new cross as the heart of Haberdashery in London and the old brick pits which the site is built on. I would like to thank Goldsmiths University. Makers Studio and the One Housing group for making this all possible.

Here are some images of the final installation And  some images of the Needle being made by Makers Studio and installed by the One Housing Group: -: –
