Silver Moon, Golden Sun by Harry Brockway

Portland stone

As a student Harry was inspired by the stone carving and wood engraving of Eric Gill. Since then, as with Gill, his engraving work has suggested ideas for his sculpture.

“I recently illustrated the poems of W.B. Yeats for the Folio Society, and came to love the sound of his poetry. I thought this last verse from ‘The Song of Wandering Aengus’, with its references to hollow lands and hilly lands, long dappled grass and gold and silver apples, would make an enigmatic marker for reflection and nostalgic contemplation in a landscape or garden.”
