The Three of Us - Carol Endean Little

The Three of Us

For this show I am exhibiting both paintings and sculpture. 

The paintings grew out of sessions with my sewing machine, when I began playing with the thread as line, texture and pattern.  I like the freedom it brought to experiment, tracing out the walks I took in memory along the cliff lines of the Blue Mountains, or along rocky coasts and beaches. 

In the sculptures, too, I took the freedom to experiment with different types of stone and wood, using different tools and techniques.  I have always had an affinity to stone, bringing them home from all my travels.  The weight of stone, its density and colour, its enormous age, bearing within itself the geological and environmental history of the Earth, all of this is quite marvellous and worthy of respect.

There is something rather mystical about stone.  Carving is laborious and dusty,  sometimes frustrating, but always, pleasure.
