FOR SALE! “Shoreline” measuring 400mm x 2.800 metres long.
As you know, most of my work is commission based, which means I rarely have anything I can offer to sell to the public. As it happens, I have this GIANT carving that needs a forever home!
This is a line from the famous W.B Yeats poem, “The lake isle of Inisfree” a poem where Yeats beautifully captures a deep yearning for the land and a slower life.
I was inspired to create this piece after taking a walk along a shoreline path, in the very landscape that originally inspired Yeats. I wanted the long lines not only to emulate the gentle movement of wind on water, but also visually represent the waves of sounds that filled my ears as I walked along the winding path. The material itself is also significant, Carboniferous Limestone, the bedrock that lies beneath the lakes and mountains of that very landscape.
Although this piece could be laid flat, I have made it with the intention of it being hung on a long flat wall, encouraging people to step closer and see the fossils that are hidden in the stone, and rub their hands along the waves, adding texture and polish with time.
Obviously, due to the scale of this piece shipping is not practical (unless the buyer would like to arrange that) but I am happy to discuss delivery and fitting. Individual slabs measure 400mm x 600mm x 40mm thick. And unfortunately, it’s on the pricier side, as you can imagine, there was a fair bit of work in it!
Please Dm for a price if you’re seriously interested.
Thank you!
Dominic
