This work is priced framed. Framed in a lime-waxed box frame with off-white window mount.

'I suppose my work and why I do it and what it is about may all be something to do with the feeling I have always had concerning the fleeting nature of life with its basic sadness and underlying poignancy – and yet it is not all about the melancholy evanescence of life and pessimism and gloom – the enduring ongoing hope, mystery and occasional great wonder and beauty in the environment and landscape is there too somewhere. This enduring quality brings me to another continuing source of inspiration – rocks and stones. The shapes, colours and textures of bare rocky shore landscape in which our islands are so particularly rich and diverse seems to be a constant theme in my work... the rocks and stones through the action of the sea and storm are in a slow process of eroding and changing shape, size and character and thus like the bones and carcasses on the shore attract me. They also attract me by revealing the structure, anatomy and dramatic origins of the landscape we inhabit and from which so much begins and starts for all of us.'
Orkney Works, 1983
