Artist, British, born 1956

The sculpture in the image is a large, serpent-like form made of a light, earthy material with a cracked pattern. It winds through a gallery space, crossing the floor and then continuing along the ceiling. The sculpture is light brown and appears as a smooth tube with textured surfaces, contrasting with the white walls and grey floor of the gallery.
