Given the relatively narrow period in the second half of the 20th century where a large part of the Harlow collection was acquired, it is perhaps inevitable that the influence of Henry Moore is seemingly inescapable. In this instance, the sculptor, Shelley Faussett, started out as an apprentice of Moores. 

The piece is typical of Faussett's work as he liked to create stacks of repeated shapes. It can be found in the Bush Fair area of Harlow, in the middle of a small shopping area.
