His mature understanding of the meaning of art was that it opened windows to the spiritual world – an alternative concept to our materialistic and conflict-filled earthly existence. He wrote that:
'Capriccio is the result of my lifelong search for the essence of art.
Capriccio is the name for an artistic approach that places special emphasis on nature’s inexhaustible energies and the logic of chance.'
In 2001 he exhibited a collection of Ecce Homo images.

Parish priest, Father Neil Bayliss, said: “I thought the sculpture should be in a church where Christians can see it, reflect on it and get inspiration. It is an amazing sight and one which I want many others to share in. Many parishioners have taken the chance to see the artwork whilst it has been on display in a local art gallery, and were fully supportive of my proposal to buy it. Art plays a huge role in the church and this was a great opportunity for us to add something extra special to the redevelopment of the Lady Chapel.”
