New commission in Portland stone; conversation with a piece of artwork

this piece of Portland stone has been talking to me all winter, as it lay in the middle of my front garden.
I picked it up part of a car-boot full I collected  last year when I visited Weymouth

loosely based on leaves, it is designed to collect and channel water into a pond.
Its nowhere near finished but you get the Idea

6th form work at Trinity; students use clay and modroc to explore the subject of Heads in 3D

Sculpture in Portland Stone; mother and child

My 1st piece of work carved in Portland stone

developed from a breeze block sculpture ,I made in respone to the mother & child theme at Trinity Catholic school 2012/13 

I have found Portland stone wonderful but challenging physically

I wanted to convey a mother's strength and tenderness
