Roy Woosey was raised in Liverpool before moving down to London to work in the printing industry. He has since moved back to Cheshire and while he misses the buzz of London he is starting to appreciate the peace and quiet. He found out about this project through a website and was familiar with Antony Gormley having seen his 'Spider' in Liverpool. He has worked extensively in printing and has started several print companies of his own. He now works in IT and is currently selling software to print companies. He enjoys the print medium as it has the ability to alter photographs and make them stand out. Music is a big part of his life and he regularly attends gigs, he also plays guitar which he took up in his teen years. On the plinth he is going to use cardboard boxes to build a castle to symbolise the adage an Englishman's house is his castle. On the side of the boxes he has attached photos depicting significant aspects of his life.
