Fate decreed that Margo took 30 years to make: from the plasticine model to the mould, the bronze casting, and the assembly and finishing after casting. The bronze carries a delicate chemical patina.

In the end I gave up the heavy dark stand: Margo now lies on a sheet of glass, levelled to it at three points. Two precisely aligned holes had to be drilled at 90 degrees in her back, at a specialised factory with a precision machine.

My sculptures are not meant to be read as a plot or a literary description. One form grows from another until they become one whole; the aesthetic value lies in the form itself.
