Quote from the artist “Wriggle’ is not an illustration of any one idea but is a response to the rhythms patterns in nature. The work was made along with a series of other pieces responding to the elements – sun, rain, wind, clouds, waves – and the natural rhythms and cycles underlying these. Like many artists my work is a synthesis of ideas that are digested and take form. This varies from work to work. Because of my interest in the ‘objectness’ of things and where they belong it is natural then to include the idea of place. Where it is important to both give and receive from a place not just for a work to exist there.

An element of discovery has been a key part of my work where I like viewers to take an active part and discover an aspect that is not immediately apparent on approach but seeks investigation of the whole piece or of a larger identity of the work.“

This is not the only Wriggle sculpture, one is also on display in Saltwell Park in Gateshead, as Grizedale Sculpture Website states, “Wriggle was originally fabricated in 2006 and sited in Grizedale 2022.”
