I have a fascination for the prehistoric human structures - the Standing Stones and Circles that men and mythology have spread across England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and France. These massive stones radiate a lightness - a light that comes from their contact with the whole of human history. They create - they are the stuff of British mythology. In this group of sculptures I've tried to capture the brilliance of spirit within the stone by recreating these rocky structures in glass, loading it with metals and colour, and reflecting the stones' massive nature in a fused and fractured glass and metal community of three stones. The Standing Stones of Britain have generated generations of mythology, from the Druids to the worship of the sun. They are not just the memory of a Mythology - they have become one. The stones live. They provide a unique and man-made shape to the environment, they give value to the British soul. This work is huge - larger than man-sized - reminders that we live in a landscape built by giants. .
