Plymouth Museum and Art Gallery

Here are some images of my latest work displayed in the gallery. The piece was created to provoke the significance of limestone in the structuring of the city of plymouth. Plymouth Limestone has 'literally' shaped some of the distinct features of the city. It has been used to create protective, functional and architectural structures. With old buildings falling or being knocked down, its crucial that the foundations of the city are not forgotten. The concept of this piece was to encapsulate and celebrate the history of the creation of the city. The limestone set within the ring (like a precious stone) signifies its historical importance and cultural importance to the city.
