'Optical', a new work by Stuart Haygarth, is created from 80,000 used prescription lenses to form an immense glistening and floating sphere, 3.5 metres in diameter. Commissioned by Land Securities, the piece is in the foyer of a new glass building designed by architects Swanke Hayden Connnell at 62 Buckingham Gate, and can be viewed from street level day and night.
