Vincent Woropay

[2] In an obituary, Anthony Howell wrote that Woropay's sculptures "give material form to a fluidity between reality and imagination more usually associated with language and literature.... His art was an attempt to capture what is fleeting... or to suggest the passing of the monumental.

"[2] Woropay's works include the following: "Hand of the River God", of 1984, is situated at the quayside of Baltic Wharf in Bristol.

[3] "Capo", a head of Josiah Wedgwood carved out of bricks, was commissioned for the 1986 Stoke-on-Trent Garden Festival.

[2][4] After its demolition was mistakenly ordered during road-widening work in January 2023, plans for its restoration were announced by Stoke-on-Trent City Council in June 2023.

The sculpture has five surmounted portrait heads of James Watt in differing stages of abstraction, its form having an affinity with Egyptian obelisks.
