Seedling (Portland stone) by Daniel Clahane
Born 1966 London
Lives and works in Cumbria
'I work in stone. The material fascinates me, the endless possibilities, the long history of sculpture and the geological timescales you cut through, every time you create a piece. Stone is elemental, and I make elemental statements to do with the outer world and to do with the elemental forces between people. I'm excited about creation. I can feel exhilaration and fear at the same time'.
