"...But the one seated at the right leaned forward and tapped the ash from his cigarette and addressed the man standing and said that as far as that went there were certainly other dangers to a journey than losing one’s way.

Neville developed new work for the Biennial. In February 2010, he travelled to Greenland to 'harvest' a two ton block of ice, which was shipped to Liverpool and relocated at Tatton Park. His experiment continued in the grounds as he attempted to keep his ice frozen for five months within a bespoke unit employing solar panels and cool water.
