View from my decking
As I sit in my decking I look out on the South West’s green landscape, with its high
hedges and abundance of trees. The hills in the distance are Cley Hill in Wiltshire
and the other is Pendle, a hill in Lancashire, I left when I moved recently to the South
West. The lettering along the hedge is Somerset Latin motto, the goat-fish is a
beautiful Roman artefact I saw in the Museum of Somerset in Taunton and the figure
is myself wearing the Scottish saltire. Very much a carving in showing I’m settled in
the South West.

Pictish standing stones at Black Swan Arts (long gallery)
Whilst stewarding at the Black Swan Arts, I suddenly had the image of the gallery
filled with Pictish decorated standing of Aberdeenshire and Angus. The stone at the
front stands in Kintore churchyard, 20 yards from where I lived as a boy, although
then I had no idea what it was. The view out the side window is the church gates and
the picture hanging on the end wall of the gallery is the Black Swan Arts Centre.

The Picts at Passchendaele
This carving was inspired by the hundredth anniversary of the first World War
Passchendaele battle. When I visited the area I saw these rows and rows of graves.
I also visited a British trench and in my trench you can see a dead corporal lying in it.
The view out the window is from a Paul Nash painting of the trench warfare. These
stone memorials reminded me of the Pictish standing stones of my native North East
Scotland, except they decorate their stones so I decorated these grave stones in
memory of the Scottish soldiers. Out of the door is just a glimmer of the green
Somerset landscape and hope.
