The Language Stone (White marble) by Gordon Young
Born 1952 Carlisle
Lives and works in Somerset
Gordon has carved a large marble sculpture for the Install Sculpture Trail.
'The stone I have used is marble from Italy. It lay on a Plymouth seabed for over a century and a half as the ship carrying it sank in a storm on route to London. A sea salvage firm recovered it as a training exercise for their divers. Originating in block form, the stones ocean adventures and decades of the sea have influenced its shape and form'.
