Latest project news is that I have presented my work so far to the project steering group, the response was very constructive and, I am pleased and relieved to be able to say, very positive. The next stage is for me to work up the preferred designs. What I am most excited about is that my idea for an underlying geometric 'code' for all the work, from sculptures to signs in both schools and across the campus, was agreed upon. This 'code' consists of a single arrow shape, repeated and rotated, throughout all the designs, sometimes large sometimes small, but always there at the heart of everything. That this is right motif for the project was revealed to me when I explained the 'code' arrow idea to Jonathan Dall of West Sussex County Council, he responded by telling me that as a result of the extensive archaeological survey undertaken prior to the construction of the schools, the only item of any historical significance or interest found on the site was a single arrowhead.
