This work was conceived as a ‘people friendly sculpture’ or a ‘personified sculptural pavilion’. It (or he) was designed to be placed on The Stade on a slightly raised paved area looking over the harbour, where the existing planters and arrangements for seating had fallen into disrepair. The Stade was originally a working area alongside ships berthing in the harbour, but now for the most part it has been given over to leisure activities and car parking. 'Steve' is fabricated from large-scale, articulated plates of Corten steel arranged to define a volume with a hole through the middle, forming a small pavilion or shelter. Its sculptural form plays on the ‘masculine’ language of monumental public art visible in the tradition both of Henry Moore and Richard Serra.
