Artwork description:

It's well known that I'm fascinated by the artefacts - Stones, circles, graves, barrows and more - left us by the folk who lived here many many years ago. It's not the objects themselves - it's the generations of stories that they accumulate - I do wish they could speak! This stone is the last remaining stone of a circle that once stood on a hill just north of Bolton, near Manchester in England. The stones of the circle lie broken all round the hill where they fell when the circle was destroyed by a local farmer as he believed it the work of the devil...

This work is brand-new, created in my woodland studio in 2018. It's one of a new, original, limited edition of just 18, printed in museum archival-quality pigmented inks on acid-free, UV-resistant canvas and board, in a simple modern frame, ready to hang. It's signed and numbered on the front, and comes in addition with a formal certificate of authenticity.

Materials used:

Pigmented inks, acid-free and UV-resistant canvas and board
