Still Life was Watson's first major public
commission. It took him a year to complete. The weight of the
finished piece caused some problems at its installation; the
sculpture, dangling from slings on a gantry, had to be wheeled
manually to the prepared plinth in West Square. It was then settled
onto mounds of ice so that the slings could be withdrawn as the ice
melted.
