Title 1 Hieroglyph

Location Cloister

Statement This work, carved in Yorkshire Sandstone, is my name in hieroglyphs. As in our alphabet, hieroglyphs are made up in letters.

Recently, my work has included Soapstone, the indigenous stone of Kenya where I spend part of the year. My imagery is based loosely on the human body with a significant influence from Egyptian iconography.
