I have been invited to make a submission to very select little gallery in North Wales, as a part of an exhibition of the work of regional artists. If our submission is accepted, we’ll be displaying our work at the gallery throughout the month of September, so fingers crossed.
Given that the exhibition will be featuring a broad spectrum of artists I decided to make some purely aesthetic, sculptural pieces and settled on a few sets of Meini Hirion, or standing stones, the shape of which has been inspired by the groups of standing stones seen throughout Wales, and many other countries of Celtic heritage. The timber used was all locally grown and partly seasoned, the yew was felled a few years ago and was the driest of the three, whilst the cherry and the laburnum were both felled about a year ago.
They vary in size, with the tallest of the yew trio being 53cm, the laburnum at 42cm and the cherry at 42cm.
C&C always welcome....Les
