Gus Fisher | New Work

27 May 2020

Inspired by William Wordsworth

We have been exhibiting the work of Gus Fisher since 2014. He is a former apprentice of the eminent British letter cutter and sculptor Richard Kindersley. Based in the Scottish Borders, Gus specialises in letter carving in both traditional and non-traditional materials and he has recently been inspired by the 250th anniversary of William Wordsworth. This has led to he creation of and my heart with pleasure fills – a special new work created for The Gallery.

and my heart with pleasure fills, 2020, hand carved gilded lettering on polished Welsh slate, H12 x W24.5 cm

Gus has created a fantastic short film that allows us to see how he creates this beautiful stone carving.

The inspiration for this piece has been the wonderful daffodils we have had this year along with Wordsworth's words - a message of joy and nature.
