The Balancing of Opposites takes as its inspiration the extraordinary sculpture of Discobolus by Myron, so wonderfully depicting calm and effort, poise and balance, and yet on the edge of a powerful force. I have set it within a flavour of Ancient Greece, and in particular the philosophical ideas that blossomed - for me they are encapsulated within the sculpture. But the spirit is under-stated and somewhat etherial - If you sense the breeze over the Aegean, all the better.
