We have the brilliant Welsh based contemporary stone sculpture
carver Matthew Billington. Working amidst the historic stones
of Wales he is certainly inspired by the ancient carvers but
also brings fluidity into this contemporary stone sculpture
that suggests his heads were frozen 'mid-morph'
in molten stone. Both Easter Island and Dali spring to my
mind when I experience his contemporary stone sculpture.
The cool, dark Welsh slate he mostly uses, smoothed
like ice, lends a power to his pieces that is compelling...
and compells you to touch...
