Old Stones
Spent the day yesterday, photographing some of my favourite stones. Sue Lawty does stones, in a big way.
Call and Response: Linen Lead Stone Shadow, Sue Lawty 2008
I’ve spent many a day, amongst the sand and pebbles, poking around on umpty beaches looking for stones that tell a story.
I once spent two days on the massive pebble beach at Walberswick, looking for completely round stones – I found about five.
I’ve pocketed many stones, most get thrown away before the sun sets, but some make it back to the studio, and some get to sit on my desk. These stones are stones that contain entire worlds, carried here carefully and placed in order of their distance.
