- The re-design of 6000 square metres of Bolton Housing Department town centre landscape.
- The
design for
the triangle of city centre landscape pays tribute to Sir Harry Kroto, a son of immigrants to Bolton, who won the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1996. Funded by Bolton, Housing % for Arts and NW Arts.
- Exhibition, sculpture at Ford and Etal, Northumberland.
2000
- Complete carving and construction of Moore Square, Castleford
near Leeds. The square marks the birth place of Henry Moore. The project offered the opportunity to explore the creation of a modern monument. My solution was to create a democratic space in which all components related to the ergonomics of the human body. A life path draws on comments from
Moore about the impact on him of his childhood in Castleford. Three archways of a scale related to domestic doorways indicate changes in direction on
that life path. I hope that the square is as much a tribute to the people of Castleford, who gave Moore initial opportunities and support. Funded
by ACE National Lottery, Wakefield Waste Management, Henry Moore Foundation and Wakefield MBC Housing Department. Managed by Public Arts, landscape
architect - Geoff Whitten, on site management - Wakefield Design services, engineers - David Narro Associates, contractors - J & S Builders.
- Design and make ten sculptures, benches and seating platforms in
stone and oak for Tyndrum Community Woodland on the West Highland Way. Strathfillan Community Development Trust used sculpture as a key part of the
interpretation strategy to provide some focal points within the landscape whilst the young trees grow into a native forest. Funded by Millennium
Forests for Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage, managed by Karen Chambers of Margin.
