Daedalus, Father of Icarus and architect of their wings. This sculpture depicts the flight, the fall, the lightness of freedom replaced by the weight of reality, his son's decision to fly too close to the sun. The twist of the head to gaze with joy then despair at the inevitable.

Endure is the evolution of Rory’s simple concept of making the sculpture breathe. Rory has pursued the limits of movement in a single stationary form, bring tension and force to the piece with each mark, playing with scale and anatomy to break sculpture down into larger tactile forms, extenuating this by the stones natural grain and flow. Manipulating light and shadow to accentuate rhythms and movement. Influenced by his time in Japan, Endure is the strength to carry on. Travelling to japan Rory witnessed the devastation nature can bring, the immensity of its power, a typhoon had just hit japan and the damage was still being felt throughout the islands. Endure is the embodiment of the determination shown by the people of Japan, how temples, houses and communities are built again and again in continued defiance of the natural world.
