Description: From the workshops of a small-town craftsman to installations that reshape the horizon, this is the story of Sam Taylor, a sculptor whose towering figures have redefined what public art can be. Tracing his evolution across chapters on scale, anatomy, material, and siting, the book examines how the Giants came to inhabit their landscapes — and how those landscapes, in turn, came to be defined by them. Rich with insight into method, meaning, and the politics of monumental form, it also considers the quieter questions of permanence, weathering, and what it feels like to stand before something so much larger than yourself. An essential companion for anyone drawn to the intersection of art, place, and the human figure at extraordinary scale.
