An abstract sculpture, consisting of a series of four contrasting forms, one on top of the other. Its surface has a high silvery sheen. It was described by the City Press as follows: 'The sculpture echoes the shapes and textures of the surrounding townscape, reflecting both the curving roof of the new Guildhall Exhibition Hall, and the stark simplicity of nearby office blocks. The sweeping curves of its crown, the simple statement of its rectangular surfaces, and its flowing base, are both satisfying as a unity and as an object in relation to surrounding structures'.
