“I'm delighted to join Art of London’s public art trail, Brighter Future, in partnership with Veolia. It's incredible to be able to showcase my new sculpture in the heart of the West End and I'm excited to see how visitors react to it. I think green spaces are important for our wellbeing so when I’m in a busy city I always seek out open spaces like leafy Leicester Square. It's the perfect place to relax and recharge and explore the new artwork.”
