Further works are on display at King Edward’s Wharf – Creation, Volare and Crossing a Millennium – with their characteristic focus on the hand, the human form, and the circle.

The exhibition Equilibrium took place in November 2009, coinciding with the installation of Give and Take III in Berkeley Square for six months. Included in the show were several new sculptures, including What Came First? (male and female forms lying in egg-shaped hemispheres) and Home Sweet Home (a marble woman cocooned in barbed wire).
