Monument for Bletchley Park, 2011 - 2011

Monument for Bletchley Park, 2011 - 2011

details about this work


Charles Gurrey is based in York


Work featured here explores forms of sculptural text. This may also involve imagery. How text gets read; how its meaning is affected or determined by context, site, material in which it is worked, or purpose it is intended to serve; all interest me as formal and substantive questions.

Architectural, ecclesiastical, commemorative and memorial work are shown on my personal website.
