John Maine : the Cosmati pavement

The "Artists Laboratory" series presents the more experimental and less familiar work of contemporary artists, opening up the creative process to explore the conceptual and practical concerns with which they engage.

The sculptor John Maine was part of the interdisciplinary team that oversaw the recent restoration of the thirteenth-century Cosmati pavement in Westminster Abbey.

The fourth in the "Artists Laboratory" series, this book tells the story of Maine's response to the recovered masterpiece, his admiration for which inspired him to make a new environmental sculpture.
