Artwork text and archival details

Adapted from the artist’s archive.

In the moonlit forest near Harwood Hole, wet rocks surround a source of warm light. Their massive forms suggest figures gathered around an opening, while the glow reaches beyond them and throws shadows into the trees.

The archive’s interpretation turns this encounter into a question of expression and restraint: can surrounding forces contain the light, or does it continue to emerge? Cool and warm illumination give the scene its tension. The photograph allows the material presence of stone to coexist with this more inward reading.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
