This piece is called ‘Gobaith’ the Welsh word for 'Hope'

Hope that we can act now and avoid climate crisis. This piece is inspired by the Ancient Standing Stones, I grew up not far from Avebury stone circle and these incredible stones have always fascinated me.

The markings are called cup or ring marks that are found on stones throughout Europe. Although we don’t know their real meaning I like to think of them as powerful pulses of energy. These pulses are placed around the circular opening where we can view the life and beauty beyond. This piece was featured on the ITV program Backstage.
