An immensely proud moment for me
The University of Warwick has honoured me with an honorary doctorate.
I was made Doctor of Letters at the first of Warwick’s winter degree ceremonies.
The Wolverhampton-born and Birmingham-based artist described his feelings on being
“It’s the most exciting time of my career as an artist and creator of the smallest sculptures of the world. I’ve finally been honoured with something very big for something very small. Put it this way, If I was dreaming I wouldn’t want anyone to wake me up right now, because it the best feeling I’ve ever had, to be recognised.”
