It was commissioned following the BBC 2 "Great Britons", the result of the public poll awarding the title to Winston Churchill. Paul de Monchaux was tasked with the design and chose a series of interlocking oak blocks, none of which could stand without the other, to symbolise his flowing and eloqent speeches. The sculpture was made by the Green Oak Carpentry Company, who also made the oak gridmat for the Downland Gridshell, so it was very fitting that this building should be it's tempoary home. |
