About the Artwork
This artwork is inspired by a visit to one of my favourite historic, pagan sites- the Rudston Monolith, East Yorkshire- at the time of the autumn equinox, Mabon. The Rudston Monolith is the tallest standing stone in Britain. It is believed the monolith is a central point in a prehistoric ceremonial landscape on the Gypsey Race, and it also has connections with local legends of the devil. The stone is said to have appeared after the devil became angry that a church had been built on pagan land that he threw a spear of rock into the heavens, only to have it sent back into the churchyard by divine intervention.
