" The maquette on show here is a study for both of the large bronzes mentioned below, both of which are over nine feet high and they are all based on my studies of Chinese Tang terracotta horses in the British Museum and in other collection in France and the USA. What I like is the constant reference to sculpture and sculptural solution to observed facts that is so embodied in the Tang horse. They are anatomically correct without being mere copies of actual beasts. In this respect they are similar to the famous four horses of St Marks in Venice which of course Greek or Roman. It is believed that they could be the horse that pulled the Quadriga of the Delphi Charioteer. My admiration for this kind of informed sculptures prompts me to use them as an influence. As with the real animal it is not a question of merely copying but making sculpture that shows where you have been and what you have seen. I have made two version of this subject CHINESE DYNAMIC and CHINESE REFERENCE. Dynamic is in the Harlow collection in Essex and Reference is in a private collection in Oxfordshire ".
