Fragment of a limestone statue (snout restored) of the chief god of the Fayum, the crocodile-headed Sobek. The statue comes from the mortuary temple of Amenemhat III, attached to his pyramid at Hawara. Known as 'The Labyrinth' in classical times, the temple was described by Herodotus as surpassing even the pyramids as a marvel.

Middle-Kingdom period head of the crocodile-god Sobek from the Faiyum Oasis, the god's foremost cult centre (much of his face has been restored). Sobek was portrayed as a man with a crocodile's head, or entirely in reptile form, with sacred crocodiles being kept as 'living images of the god' at some of his temples in the Faiyum. He was seen to embody and thereby placate some of the more hostile elements of Nature.

One of the country's finest museums, the Ashmolean covers all facets of ancient history across the globe up to the medieval period and beyond, along with a fine art collection from the Renaissance to the Pre Raphaelites.

The collections are housed in a magnificent neo-classical building by C.S.Cockerell which been recently re-ordered within to create dramatic new gallery spaces. The work recently concluded with the refurbishment of the Egyptian galleries, reopened in late 2011, with the exhibits displayed to far better advantage than before with improved space and lighting.

Hieroglyphic Signature, St Anne's, Nuneaton

The architectural fragments at the base of the St Anne window symbolise the fall of the pagan empires and ascendant Christianity, thus symbolising the powers portrayed as oppressors in the Old & New Testaments..

St Anne's Roman Catholic church, in the Chapel End / Camp Hill area of Nuneaton, was built in 1999-2000 to replace the original basic dual-purpose church/school built in the 1940s with a limited budget and lifespan. The new church was opened in March 2000, and dedicated later that year by Archbishop Vincent Nicholls.

The church is square in plan with the corners angled (forming an uneven octagon) with the orientation on the diagonal axis facing south east. There is an unfortunate inbalance in the glazing within, which is concentrated on the north and east walls, the remaining walls having the parish rooms attached. The original design included a central lantern over the nave, but this was sadly abandoned during construction owing to rising costs (this would have given the building a more 'church-like' profile outside and greater light within).

Following my work at Sacred Heart, Bilton I was invited to prepare designs for several of the church's windows prior to construction, and thus had the sanctuary oculus with the dove of the Holy Spirit installed for the first mass in the church in March 2000. In the following years the project continued for the adjoining five windows including a central image of the church's patron St Anne with her daughter Mary.

The remaining windows were filled a few years later with a Crucifixion group and a more abstract Sacrament-themed composition (in lighter colours as continuing the rich blue scheme set by the earlier windows would have made the church too dark!), making this my largest ever stained glass project and my only complete scheme of church windows to date.

In July 2012 a final touch was added when I painted the Sanctuary ceiling with a design of Seraphim and stars in blue and gold, a concept under discussion for some time to remedy the lack of structural emphasis on the altar area and create a more fitting focal point to the interior, with the angel's wings suggesting a canopy.
