Standing stone (commission)

Standing stone  

In undertaking this sculptural installation I have sought to create a contemporary work, incorporating the inspiration of quantum physics and my interest in combining drawing and sculpture, which at the same time reflects ancient beliefs – belonging in the landscape of the Lleyn Peninsula, Wales as do the standing stones placed by our ancestors. The North-South solar alignment was laid out, using ancient techniques, at the Summer Solstice.

Stone 1
Natural stone selected at a local farm and placed at the North point of the alignment. Installed 'as is' to reflect perceived solidity - reality as we experience it.

Stone 2
Lines from a map of the garden, lanes and field boundaries around the installation site, drawn up into three-dimensions. I have used the mapped lines to create a link between this sculpture and the surrounding landscape.

Stone 3
Natural stone selected at a local farm and placed at the South point of the alignment. Woven over with a copper wire 'net' to enhance and reveal the energy field of the stone.
