' Capturing Cardinal Newman's iconic distinctive features wasn't all I wanted to achieve with this bust. I wanted it to be more than a likeness or academic study. Paintings of him seemed to better portray his humanity and learning;   It was the warmth of character found in the paintings which I hoped to capture in this work.' Jeanette Lewis
