About the Artwork:

"A book written and illustrated in the 1960's in the signature "boy's own" style titled "I spy manual" is the basis for this work.  It is a silhouetted figure of a lone child, sitting on the grass lost in his thoughts.  The figure was taken from a scene in the Annual of children playing, but the boy is left out of a game, to ponder his relevance in an increasingly complicated and difficult world." – Matt Calvert

Materials: Welded Plate Steel
