Concrete burial / memorial stone


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.
