This piece was created as a memorial to artist Ruth Rolland.
Ruth was considered was a highly involved female participant in the abstract
expressionist movement.
With paintings bought by numerous top collectors, Ruth was
also a highly talented sculptor and was commissioned to created a bronze bust
of Artist LS Lowery which unfortunately was stolen in 2002 : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2314859.stm
I worked with Ruth’s family to create a tomb stone that was
reflective of her character, life and beautiful art that she gave the world - the family tell me the piece shows her lust
for life and creative nature to a tea.
