Many Pictish stones, through time, have been moved from their original site to a place sometimes not wholly appropriate. I’ve moved one of the Aberlemno stones (near Brechin, county of Angus) to my back garden in Somerset and instead of a “white chalk man or horse” have set a Pictish beast onto Cley Hill. A pastoral scene with mystical undertones

This is a scene of my childhood village—Kintore, Aberdeenshire, with the Town hall, church gates, and my parents bakery. When I left I didn’t know where I was going, so I meandered, rather lost. The maze is a description of my journey, but also a reference to where I have settled—in Somerset. And one of the joys of this county is the hedges—so I’ve come out of my maze.

I was photographing the arch in a modern block on the Butts in Frome, and accidently photographed a lorry passing. I wondered what the lorry could be delivering and decided that the gardens could benefit from a couple of Pictish stones. The lorry brought one and the Picts themselves brought the other.

This is a relief carving about my visit to Vienna, the build up to it and the being home again. In the piece are Doric columns from Stourhead, figures in Heathrow airport, Viennese landmarks, such as Rachel Whiteread’s monument to the death of so many Jews from Vienna during the Second world War and memories of my home village seen in a similar village I saw in an Egon Schiele painting.

The carving came from an idea about exhibiting Pictish decorated stones from North East Scotland in an English gallery, with one of the white chalk figures from the South west keeping them company
