In 1999 I was invited to make a work for the British art show in the UAE which was curated by Peter Lewis and Derek Ogbourne, I collaborated to make a monumental work with Peter Fillingham, ‘Le Coq’s’ a transcription from the work of Constantine Brancusi which has been a lifelong source of inspiration. The work was purchased for the permanent collection of Sharjah museum of contemporary art, by His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al-Qasimi. I had previously completed a body of research at UKC during 1978 -82 on the drawings of Constantine Brancusi, visiting collections in New York, Paris, Venice and Chicago, and this had given him a unique insight into his work and collections.
