The sculpture

The epicentre of the Cancer Research UK garden

Illustrating the impact of our work

The abstract sculpture created by Simon Thomas is the focal point from which all impact originates in the garden.

The limestone piece hits the pool of water at the centre of the garden producing static waves which fan out across the garden. 

The waves begin as "slices" on the water and continue as narrow concentric lines of low planting within the paving, illustrating how our work achieves widespread impact for everyone affected by cancer.

Simon Thomas, the sculptor

A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Simon Thomas is the pioneer of what is now termed the Art/Science forum.

Simon is highly regarded as an artist researching the underlying patterns of nature through observation and scientific study. His passion is to celebrate natural wonder as a poetry of space.

Since graduating from the Royal College of Art he has completed numerous public and private sculpture commissions, exhibited work both in the UK and abroad, and travelled widely as a guest at international festivals and symposia.
