Daylight is domestic and makes the stone a garden ornament, restores the union of tree and stone and bin – their long association. Mica specks are instant rapid crumbs of light in the stone while shadows cast by ash leaves are fluid racing shapes. Stone stands in an amber haze of seeding grasses. This is the light we know. This is where we live. The man with a dozen dogs walks to the bin. In his hand the plastic bag shines. Carole Coates |
