Iona

NOT FOR SALE

Wood, granite, nails and Iona marble

Iona developed from the central stone. It is marble from the island of Iona containing the fossils only found there and it was a present from a visitor to my first Open Studios in 2015 who had been a missionary on Iona many years ago. He entrusted me to find a worthy home. It took me many years to find the right branch to display it without obstructing the beautiful fossils. The rusty nails evoke memories of the crucifixion and lead the eye to the centre piece.  Hidden in the base is a little black granite pebble from Greenham Common which reminds me of the need to protect our planet. The sculpture was presented in Open Studios 2022 to the original owner of the pebble as a token of my gratitude for their trust in me.
