STEIP (pronounced 'step') is an acronym for: Subliminal-system for the Transpersonal Evolution of
Individualised Persons. Conceived when working in Falmouth, Cornwall, I envisaged STEIP as a
soaring stainless steel sculptural ladder isolated on a some lonely moorland site (or sites). It
was intended that on the approach to STEIP a larger than life-size explanatory concept-plaque
carved in stone or engraved in stainless steel would be situated. The concept related to esoteric
beliefs I was interested in at the time and still am. Although I faint heartedly applied for a
grant the project never came off. But the concept of STEIP continues to exist and stand, if only
as a metaphor somewhere in 3rd Millennium Time/Space. The small maquettes or models I produced at
the time incorporating STEIP were envisaged as possible works on a life-size/ monumental scale. A
