FUTURE HISTORY
2007

'Future History' is the title given to this exhibition of selected maquettes that were produced during the first year of my fellowship in London at the former studio of the sculptor Kenneth Armitage. The term, future history, describes the creative visualization of future events, a philosophy famously practised by the former heavyweight boxing legend Mohammad Ali. The title is an appropriate one to describe this body of work. The maquette is a powerful tool that sculptors use to anticipate the shape of things to come. The work also draws upon timeless concerns that have and will always preoccupy mankind.
