Stones
“Seen in deep time, stone folds as strata, gouts as lava, floats as plates, shifts as shingle.” ~ Robert MacFarlane
Megalithic stones hold stories of human existence over millennia. Mountains animate a landscape, stones in dwellings or gardens are narratives of human occupation and endeavour.
Stone walls and flagstones inspired by my residency in Oatlands, Tasmania 2024.

In 2022 I began a geo-narrative project Stone Stories a geo-narrative at two artist residencies, one in the Outer Hebrides, UK and the other in East Iceland.

In Stöðvarfjörður, East Iceland the town people collected stones to place in their garden as ornaments and sentinel spirits. These became the inspiration for many of the artworks I created during May 2022.
