I lived at Cluny from 1993 to 2007. In that time I developed a passion to work with stone in my spare time. It started with a first drystone wall in 1996. With the Love Bench in 1998 I began to shape stone and got into stone carving, ending with the feet ‘of a buried giant’. Many meters of stonewalls, and stone steps helped shape the landscape in Cluny Garden. At times I became quite obsessed with this work – yet always it was a labour of love, a gift to Cluny as I loved living there.

 

I thank Alex Wright of Flying Mirrors for making this film with me in 2023.
