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.
