Sale price of North Yorkshire castle halves to \u00a37.5million<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n \u00a0Bill said: \u201cSometimes sculptures need explaining and these are impressions, not portraits.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI have seen loss from all sides, which has included my work in prisons, and also in Birmingham neonatal wards.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe loss in a family may be lifelong – I wasn\u2019t trained to understand that, so I wanted to know what would happen to these parents, who I would never meet again.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n He said: \u201cThe human aspect of grief looks the same across the globe and at this stage in my life I wanted to put down all my experiences in a more creative form.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt is a message I feel I haven\u2019t quite finished.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI\u2019m just trying to convey memories of people\u2019s experiences of grief.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe face can convey our messages, it\u2019s not what we see necessarily\u00a0but it\u2019s there.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI try to convey what happens underneath the skin.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
