Stones, Trees and Churches
02/10/2009 by James.
I seem to be spending a fairly equal time exploring ancient sites, old churches, hills and woods recently.
With all my stonehenge related work, a bit of family history digging, and a continuing interest in the links between christianity and our ancient British spiritual heritage, its a web of links between landscape, ritual, spirituality and belief, that is a source of rich pickings for me as an artist.
The carved figure at the bottom is from the font at a church in Winterbourne Monkton, nr Avebury - more images and a discussion of its origins at
