Quote from the Artist: “The three figures represent me as a Mother, Woman and Artist.”
The artwork features three large pillars standing around a number of smaller stacks in the centre forming a circle. The idea is the figures are representative of humans standing around a well. The maquette of the sculpture below is identical to the final piece. The maquette now resides in the Grizedale Arts office in Coniston.
