Why does public art make us feel good?

Creative director David Bickle and artist Bob and Roberta Smith walk and talk it through

As HRH The Princess Royal formally switches on 'Waterfall', one of five monolithic sculptures by Nathan Coley at the H\B-designed Bazalgette Embankment riverside park, old friends and collaborators David Bickle and artist Bob and Roberta Smith reflect on the importance of public art in everyday life.
