Gwyneth Price

I carve wood and stone, and occasionally make casts from clay models.

My childhood in South Africa does sometimes colour my work –  the mixing together of materials, the use of vertically piled forms. Ideas come from the observation of natural and human forms, constant drawing, and sudden connections.

I enjoy the physical action of carving in to materials and the way in which the  particular character of each piece of wood or stone makes a sort of ongoing dialogue of small decisions necessary, so the finished piece is different from the first plan. I try to find a calm rightness, a feeling of grace and energy.

I am also a member of The Vale of Glamorgan Artists www.vogavaleart.org
