The Untold Secret
Ironstone
2019
height: 39cm / width: 27cm / depth: 21cm
An untold secret is a lumpen thing : it weighs you down, while simultaneously putting you off balance and straining for release at the weak points in the envelope of your existence.
This piece was made from a rock found in a hedge in Northamptonshire. It was cracked and dirty and grey in colour, but as I worked it, and polished away at it for what seemed like weeks and weeks, the true beauty of this remarkable stone emerged, making it one of the most satisfying pieces I have ever made.
