Jon Buck's bronze seems to represent a couple locked together, gazing into each other's eyes.  Closer examination reveals a strange fusion of their forms, with their bodies so far intertwined as to have become a single organism.

Whilst studying at Manchester Art School, Buck worked against the mainstream and pursued his own interests, his work centring on the making process.  His figures not only represent men and women but also Man and Nature.
