The subject of engagement is completely fascinating to me and I started to think about how to create a work that was interactive, because all my work in interactive, and so I thought about the photo itself of the engagement announcement and in that photo William is perfectly standing alone on his own and Kate has come in and put her hand through his and really made an effort to show the ring. I thought about how staged that was and how much he felt like the statue itself. Then slowly I developed the idea that he could stand alone and that through the ring all of us could inhabit the position that Kate inhabited, kind of having our Prince Charming propose to us in that moment.\"                  \u003cbr/\u003eFILE: London -16 November 2010\u003cbr/\u003e7.
