About the Artwork:

The artwork was inspired by the legend of Brân the Blessed, the giant whose head is said to be buried beneath the city of London. I love the idea that Brân’s head may be just resting underground while the everyday activities of the city feed the dreams of this slumbering giant. – Philip Harris
