Afterlife, 2023

<p>I’ve worked with stone for almost five decades from Drystone Dyking to restoration carving on Cathedrals. My vocation for the last thirty years has been making gravestones; work I find enormously fulfilling. <em>All the Ragged Days</em> was written and carved in Lockdown 2020 after finding damaged feathers on the beach and feeling how familiar they seemed to our human experience; needing care and gentleness. <em>The Afterlife</em> is a visual ‘joke’ about my growing sense that dying could very possibly be accompanied by a feeling of going Home.</p>
