Towards the Light

 

Rock has been a part of the creative human journey for a thousand generations or more. From the first cave paintings and ‘Venus’ sculptures, to Stonehenge and Michelangelo, rock has held humans in its thrall. Those anonymous men and women of the Stone Age braved the darkest caves to create humanity’s first art by the flickering torchlight and lead it towards enlightenment and civilisation. This work honours those first artists, drawing on the strength and grace of this most ancient of materials, whilst also expressing a finely balanced vulnerability which makes them so human.
