Projects

so many ideas have been started, worked, planned, failed, abandoned, succeeded.

Dragons and a font 2012-

The font, St. James Church, Avebury, Wiltshire.

c.9th.C.

Following my interest in dragons through European mythology led me to my local church. The font in St. James displays two Celtic/Saxon dragons worthy of close study. Working with the Church (diocise of Salisbury) I set out to 'unwrap' the image around the font. Lay it flat. No-one is known to have ever done it, so I agree.

Remember, I come at this as an artist not a historian. I just show what I see, not what I think.






As it happened, National Geographic were making a study documentary of 'dragons' and Avebury was on their list.
Dr. Janina Ramirez and I filmed for a while to camera about the font, and my drawings. I hope we meet again.
