What better accompaniment to our Summer Show than a hand-picked collection of new work by John and Marilyn?
Made from carved lime wood and materials salvaged during walks along the riverbank an in the woods, these birds emerge from the wood and are brought to life!
Beautifully carved, shaped and painted, the work has poise and verisimilitude. The birds are skittish, trembling on the brink of life, full of spirit and delicacy. There is a lightness of touch, and a precision that comes from long observation and from paying close attention.
John and Marilyn have an appreciation of the environment around us. They remind us of its resilience and its fragility.
