It was a great challenge to conceive of a sculpture that was also a helter-skelter. To mould a spiral slide into a cone was an extremely complex technical problem. This was solved in a masterful and economic way by Peter Walde of Westward Mouldings Ltd. Once I had agreed a 10:1 scale fibreglas model, Peter cast the slide in 24 sections.
