Title: Consolation 1
Medium: Wall-mounted relief panel in Valentia Slate
The inspiration for this piece comes from my attending a funeral mass for the mother of a friend of mine. I was at the funeral home and saw this small gesture of solace from one mourner to another. It was very touching.
Valentia slate has been used to carve headstones and memorials for many years, so the material has a significance in the context of the subject matter.
