Inspiration:

This sculpture originated from an idea to do a bas-relief wall plaque, but in the style of my current flow of work. I didn’t have a visual idea though until the image of a patch of earth with spring growth came to mind, but that the earth was formed of a figure and merged with the area around. It was a sculpture that I really enjoyed sculpting as it presented a variation in my workflow, although the plaque idea was soon jettisoned in favour of a freestanding piece, still bas-relief, but the patch of land having the exposed earth on the other side.
