"Ken Unsworth holds the unlikely honour of being a contemporary artist whose work Suspended Stone Circle 1985 at the Art Gallery of NSW pipped Streeton's Fire's On to the post as the most popular work of art in a public place in Sydney according to a poll held by the Sydney Morning Herald. Unsworth's enormously diverse body of works has the capacity to touch a cord in most people. He seems to move from apparently Minimalist constructions to disturbingly expressive symbolist paintings to elaborate sets or should I say installations. Our first contact may induce awe, anxiety, a belly laugh and sometimes an uneasy mixture of all three!" (A Bond, Press Release, Boutwell Draper Gallery exhibition, 2003)
