There are a number of ideas behind Warren’s bronze figure for Central Saint Giles. The artist considered that the nature of public sculpture usually refers to a well-known figure who can be identified and might give meaning to a place, most often rooted in the past. Warren wanted to make a work that speaks of the always shifting present, a non-gender-specific figure whose form emphasises movement in a way that reflects the constant motion of passing through a busy urban space. Warren built her sculpture first in clay, which gives the final bronze work a fluidity not traditionally associated with the material.
