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.
