Spring | Summer In Summer activity is frantic – Everyone is awake and full of energy The new leaves made in spring grow quickly Movement from the topsoil to the subsoil is hurried as they join long queues waiting impatiently to get into the roots movement up though the trunk and the branches is fast and excited The leaves on the branches quickly reach maturity | Autumn | Winter |
FRUSTRATION
He can see what he wants, but he can’t have it!
SEVERE FRUSTRATION
Not only can he see what he wants, but the tools he needs to break the glass and get what he wants are outside the jar.
MIND OVER MATTER
You can use your mind to escape from the jar. You can study and learn to levitate out of the jar.
You can use your mind to study, get a highly paid job and increase both your social and economic standing.
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE
If you wait long enough you will float out.
Outside forces may take a hand.
You could win the lottery
or inherit a fortune
STRENGTH IN NUMBERS
They already have four children,
she is pregnant, one more child
and they can climb out.
If you can’t
succeed on your own,
form a union or
join a co-operative.
ESCAPE THRU’ THE ARTS
Some people can learn to sing a high C
and crack the glass.
Or while remaining in your jar
you can escape in to a good book
or be transported to a desert island,
complete with palms.
Personally when I listen to my favourite music
I could be on a different planet!
TO BE DIFFERENT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY
Being different , whether it be your colour,
handicap or simply your eccentricity,
which, by the way
is only being different from the norm,
can make one feel imprisoned by circumstances.
It is not easy.
LOVE HAS NO BARRIERS
This is just me being the eternal romantic.
But love does have no boundaries,
whether it be love for another person,
ones country or another way of life,
if the love is strong enough then
there is nothing and no one
it cannot overcome.
Love is eternal.
WISH YOU WERE HERE
A lot of people are very happy
to be where they are,
whether it be away on holidays
or at home in the garden –
With the sun shining as it seems just for them.
HOME SWEET HOME
There is nothing nicer than to be at home,
with your family, in your home
which is just the way you want it!
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
Hope in itself, is what makes al lot of people happy.
Even if things are not as you would want them,
the hope that tomorrow things may change
This hope makes them keep trying
just one more time. Maybe……………….
THE DEVIL YOU KNOW….
Perhaps your life
is not as bad as it may sometimes seem.
If it were to change,
would it then be even worse
ANOTHER MAN’S GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER
It does not matter how nice your garden might be,
there is always one
which is much bigger and much better.
The more you have the more you want.
Some people are never happy.
PUTTING BACK THE PIECES
When your world falls apart it can be quite difficult
to put it back together the way it was.
Some of the pieces may no longer be there.
But with enough time and
enough glue……………..
I WANT TO BE ALONE
Some people have everything!
And yet they lock themselves away,
whether it be a teenager in the family
wanting ”To be left alone”,
a multi-millionaire becoming a total recluse
or you- just wanting some time out.
LEAVING HOME
Leaving a home
is not quite leaving ‘everything’ behind,
but more like us moving our jar to a different location.
We have new outside pressures,
but most of our possessions
and our basic jar goes with us
when we go.

The Grey Lady is from a series of similar drawngs
based on the same ten female forms
which explores the advent of shades of grey
in my black and white pen and ink drawings
I have used a total of 478 female forms to illustrate
how I imagine a sculptor might sculpt a woman
There might be three direct influences
– Material
– A Model
– Experience
Firstly – Material – Stone would behave differently when shaped than wood or clay or any other material It is Represented here by the smallest solid figures at the unfinished base of this sculpture
Secondly – The Model – Represented here by the largest figure – shaded – because Her shape would greatly influence the work
Thirdly – Experience – In the sculptor’s mind would be a memory of every female shape he has ever seen Represented here by the background of outlined figures which become solid
when they form part of the Unfinished Sculpture
