His collective work reveals a unique visual language that challenges perceptions of the world, emphasizing the beauty of nature while deepening our understanding of environmental and climate issues.

Geoffrey Clarke: a sculptor's materials' is the first monograph to address the full range of this artist's work, from stained glass to sculpture, jewellery to textiles, land art to medals. Initially trained in stained glass, Geoffrey Clarke (1924-2014) came to international recognition in 1952, as one of the young British sculptors who exhibited at the Venice Biennale. He rapidly became one of the most frequently commissioned architectural sculptors of the mid-twentieth century, developing an innovative casting technique using aluminium and establishing his own foundry at his home in Suffolk. Clarke's versatility secured him commissions from banks, offices, universities and cathedrals (most notably, Coventry), which he approached with characteristic verve. Many of these works, sadly neglected, are now finding new audiences: Spirit of Electricity (1958-61) and Spiral Nebula (1962) were both listed Grade II by Historic England in 2016.

Into the Light is the first English language study of the German artist, Egon Altdorf (1922-2008), whose encounter with British sculptors at the Unknown Political Prisoner competition in 1953 informed a unique body of sculpture, woodcuts, stained glass, poetry, and designs for Wiesbaden's new synagogue (1966).
