A Place to Rest
$700
A place to rest is a quiet moment of peace and calm, a chance to pause in the business of modern life. It is a reminder to look around and appreciate the small things that contribute to a rich life.

Bridget Whitehead
Sculpture is the language that I use to explore my relationship with the world. I create sculptures for gardens and public places, with stone as my primary medium. The mass of stone appeals to me, the cool surfaces, the rough and the smooth. Carving stone is a laborious process; work evolves slowly, a chip at a time. I like to work with traditional tools of hammer, chisel and rasp, enjoying the tactile nature of the work.
