Simon’s wood and steel sculptures are very much influenced by the rich and varied layers of his life and his surroundings – his childhood, time spent working as a shipwrights assistant, the sea, engineering, history and mythology – drawings and thoughts collected over many years in the piles of black and grey sketchbooks that fill his home and studio in Wales.
In this sculpture, Lens, Simon references John Dee, the English mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, teacher, occultist, and alchemist who was advisor to Elizabeth I.
