Starslide (Construction)   2005

5m high x 4m base diameter

Glass reinforced polyester resin, marine ply, stainless steel, Treadmaster safety flooring, LED strip lighting

Commissioned by Guy's and St Thomas' Charity for the Evelina Childrens Hospital in London designed by Michael Hopkins Architects

Starslide had to be made in 3 separate sections; a 2 m top section and the 3 metre high base section split into 2 pieces from top to bottom. We had to do this in order to get the sculpture into the building, where the 3 parts, once hoisted into position, had to fit perfectly together again.
