However, the organisation behind Brewbird is St Giles Trust, no stranger to members of the Camberwell Society as it was our Charity of the Year in 2010. The Trust’s mission is “breaking the cycle of offending”. The people it supports have complex problems involving homelessness, mental and physical illness, addiction, and poor life-skills: all too often, these problems will cause them to offend. Over 60% of people leaving prison after short sentences re-offend within the first year, and the Trust is tackling this dreadful statistic, using a number of initiatives to give its clients the skills and self-belief to turn their lives round.

Installed in 2009, it kick-started a gradual landscaping of this station approach. It is characteristic of the impressive work of Randy Klein, who is originally from New York. He is currently focused on local projects, one for private clients, another for a charity appeal and others for gallery exhibition, principally GX Gallery (see: CQ No.183). Randy emphasizes the particular collaborative nature of almost all his The arch at Nunhead station, installed in 2009, was the start of the gradual work from design to accomplishment. landscaping of the station approach His sculptures for public spaces require many skills and, he says, much patience. He’s been responsible for structures worldwide, particularly in the UK, (several in regeneration areas in Southwark), and in Italy, notably “The Angel of Poetry” at Biblioteca Classense, Ravenna. He’s exhibited in New York, Paris, Los Angeles, Canada, besides Camberwell. Years ago he spoke to me about how the Assyrians and Greeks painted their sculpture. He follows their tradition with “patination”, a working of colour (paint made of crushed glass – white, black and green) on different metals, probably stainless steel or aluminium, both rustproof. This is done involving serigraphy (silk screen). The object is A multi-branched Tribute Tree raises money for St Christopher’s Hospice in fired to a high temperature.

Another project is a three dimensional metal work for clients in Stories Mews. As well as working alongside artists and the commissioning groups for estates, recreational spaces and nurseries, he allies himself with those youngsters who will be frequenting his outdoor stainless steel sculptures. At one Southwark school the children knew this imaginative artist as “Parasol Man”. He would have asked the children at the school to draw pictures to be included in the design, whether for their school gate, a playground or park. Furthermore, he has held bookmaking workshops and taught sculpture. He began his journey with book making, an art which is especially dear to him; inventive picture books made of paper and silkscreen drawings. Several are semi-autobiographical: the district museum of his birthplace, Brooklyn, has a copy of a pictorial narrative of his trip around Coney Island as a youngster where he got lost. An early book is the life of a New York cab driver, his job while studying at the Art Students League. He examines man’s attempt to control nature in “Florida”. His first European artist book, Paterson Park Parasol: Randy Klein is pictured with two of the students who for which he collaborated with Italian worked on the project.
