Embrace 2

Fossilised bone, flint and Jacobs shell

Several years ago the two fossilised pieces of bone forming the centre of this sculpture were given to me as a present by a visitor of Open Studios. It suggested an embrace to me and I experimented to find the right position for them which would do justice to their importance. This came in the shape of the big scallop shell supporting and cradling them. A special plinth was made to support the structure and further emphasize the importance of it.
