Landscape design


In July 1997 I travelled to Marble in Colorado, USA to participate in the MARBLE/marble caving symposium.

This was intended to be a short visit en route to the Slade School of Fine Art, London. However I remained in Colorado for several months and carved intensively, while staying with Greg Tonozzi, a well known local carver and co-director of the MARBLE/marble Symposium.

Prior to attending MARBLE/marble I had no experience with stone other than in landscape construction. The human use of stone has always absorbed me and encountering the material itself was a natural extension of this. Working with fifty or so other carvers was an extraordinary experience.

These works express a sense of material wonderment. Colorado Yule marble is fine grained, often glassy stone that absorbs and refracts light. I returned to Marble in July 2001, and can highly recommend it to anyone interested in an exciting carving experience.
