In this video from our 'Artists in Isolation' series, John Maine RA talks us through the process of making a huge, stone sculpture for Salisbury town centre – and what happens when lockdown lands in the middle of it.

John Maine RA was due to unveil his new work, Turning Point on St George's Day in the market place in Salisbury. Due to the Covid-19 crisis, the transport and assembly of the work has been delayed. Discover how the piece is intended to look to the future, as well provide a link to the past.
