One More Weekend


























The exhibition of contemporary art at St. Laurence Church, Falmer Village South, just outside Brighton, is open Sunday May 18th, and next weekend May 24th and 25th, 11 - 5. The church has a lovely atmosphere and the little village around the duck pond is a tranquil space in a crazy world.

The Prayer of the Bone


























I am excited about this piece I have just completed. It is a piece of twisty elm that was growing in a friend's hedge. Have had it ages. Then I was listening to a reading of T.S.Eliot's Four Quartets on the radio, and the phrase ...."The prayer of the bone on the beach..." caught my imagination. Polished with brywax.

Woman with Tree Antlers

This is a piece of lime wood, which did have three separating branches at the top. I began to find more, which became quite obsessive, but look OK I hope.

Recarved Mother and Child


































Well I wasn't entirely happy with the mother's head, when this piece was exhibited in The Crypt Gallery, it was a little "football" shaped, oh dear. So I have recarved it & am now happy with the way her chin is scrunched gently on the child's head. I remember that feeling, when my sons were small.....
