The author, L. R. Kitchin, describes his youth in the industrial part of Britain where the industrial Revolution began. His early sculpture dealt mainly with the human figure in the classical Greek style. When he learned that what he was pursuing was so close to what had been done by Aristide Maillol, his work underwent a major change. In 1959, he made the first principal work that reflected the influence of the heritage of his youth. Working with welding equipment, metal-working tools and machines, he continues to make sculpture stemming from this influence. He describes his recent works, in particular, his latest one, ‘Lifting Engine’, which is a very large construction whose linkage system permits the disposition of its parts to be changed at will within the limits of its design
