Seven Stones


Seven Stones

The image is drawn on watercolour paper in rapidograph ink and measures 140 cm x 101 cm approx. framed landscape. £ 1250.00

This piece of work belongs to the Stones series of drawings.
Repetition and observation are the key to the working method  

Clearly time remains a prevalent issue as some of the stones referred to are chalk which on handling disintegrate and turn to dust. 

Seven has been regarded as a powerful number for centuries with  resonance through out all cultures.

Central to this work is the idea that stone being of the earth possesses strong earthly powers. By linking Molly’s fetish for handling and sucking stones with the repetion of the magic number seven multiplied by seven multiplied by seven suggests a Pandora’s box of good, evil and hope, 

There are approximately ten more drawings in the Stones series of similar size and media both framed and unframed.
