Installation of 'Hinge' by Paul Mason at the Gibberd Garden near Harlow, dated 1978. Sir Frederick Gibberd noted, 'Hinge, a sandstone sculpture by Paul Mason, was so large and heavy, only a firm of experts could handle it. They put straps under the stone and with a crane lowered it on to the site. How did they get the straps out? I will let you into a secret. Lumps of sugar were place on the base, the stones lowered and the straps quickly pulled out. The sculpture slowly crushed the sugar to settle on the base.'
