Genesis

In the autumn of 2001 I began working on the exhibition ‘Genesis’ with Aristides Varrias, a sculptor from the Greek island of Paros in the Aegean sea, who works in Parian Marble, which 2000 years ago provided the material for the most famous Greek sculptures of antiquity: The Venus de Milo, Laocoon, and the Elgin Marbles. The exhibition was held in February 2000 in the Hellenic Centre in London as a conversation between my paintings, as archetypal voices of the ECOS stones in Frome, and Aristides’ carved heads, ‘Flowers of Stone’. The exhibition linked the amphitheatre in Frome across Europe to Paros, the birthplace of the Greek stone on the ECOS site.
