I first made this form in 2014, and it has connected with many people over the years. As you will see here, I have made it in different sizes and materials – each having their own particular resonance, but in common there is a universal sense that many people seem to identify with.
‘buying a sculpture was not on my mind in any way when I visited Stody Park early in the summer of 2017 but I was completely entranced by the calmness, sadness and thoughtfulness of ‘Many Become One’. I am profoundly touched by it every day. Even the most cynical of visitors all express a deep fascination for it. To have produced an object in such a hard and severe material as Corten steel that glows with feeling and emotion is quite remarkable and shows the unique skill that Tom has.’
