Vessel of Light In Miniature the years go by in

the years go by in a whirlwind of discovering and making music

soft and flowing and translucent in colour

Framed in a black gesso box frame and gold inset

Seeing them there made me think of what it must have been like for sailors stranded or wartime airmen who mistakenly landed on The Sands

I found the names of the ships and the date they sank using Lloyds list and gilded them in large letters at the top and bottom of each piece

Vessel of Light In Miniature the years go by inPortuguese Tiger Skin Marble 48 x 17 x 17cm An ancient stone vessel, its soft and misty sliver blue and gold marbling flows across its surface. The form is in contrast with the hard material it is carved from. Its history is told through its fragmentation and echoes of ceremonial and ritual objects of the past.
