Long Meg, Eden Valley
Hand-painted silk collage 10 x 7.5 cm.
Long Meg is the main stone in a Cumbrian stone circle known as Long Meg and Her Daughters. The monolith stands tall within a circle of 67 smaller stones. The main folklore states that Long Meg was a witch petrified along with her daughters for dancing on the sabbath. The stone may have been named after local 16th century witch, Meg of Maldon.
I work in silk collage for a crisp line and glowing colour, and strive to convey the atmosphere and drama of Britain's landscapes and monuments.
