The photographs of the Symbolic Sculptures in these pages were taken in either the sculpture collections of Robert A.Hefner III, Damon de Laszlo, The Philip Trust, the Universities of Wales, Cambridge, Oxford, Barcellona, Macquarie University, and Harvard, or Edition Limitee.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the owners of my work for allowing me to reproduce them, and at the same time to express my sincere thanks for their generous and unfailing support over the last 15 years. Without the support of my Patrons there would be no Symbolic Sculptures.

Sperone Speroni, a Venetian author, b 1500, wrote `the key to civilisation is the creation of wealth and the patronage of the arts'. The Patron and the Artist together create an enviroment for Gestalt, which is the essence of what I have tried to capture in my Symbolic Sculpture.

I would also like to thank Ronnie Brown for all his help and advice. Our friendship is one of the joys of my life. He opened the door into the wonderful world of the University of Wales Bangor, owners of four of my Symbolic Sculptures, and led to my being enrolled as an Honorary Fellow of the University.
