As a sculptor, having spent half a lifetime engaged in making public art, Jeff Salter is constantly mindful of being surrounded by the heritage of countless nations, civilisations and tribes leaving their indelible architectural marks upon the landscape, mostly as archaeological vestiges of truimphalism, sanctuary or mortality.

Cromlechs, stone circles, fortifications, palaces, temples, pavilions, holy wells and springs, chapels, mortuaries of long forgotten cults, religions and clans in remote and isolated locations, from which the progeny have moved on leaving an intriguing, if insubstantial solitary mark upon the terrain.

The enigmatic remains from Pyrenean mountains to Iranian deserts have a formality and resonance that repeats itself over time and culture, echoing back through history as the circle, square, cruciform or saltire, which constitutes the basis that informs this body of work.
