Guess the name of the Artist — a Treasure Hunt.

Sentinel (add name of artist when you have read the piece!)

A man intervenes with a chisel — dares to take on the primal pre-history of a folded seabed.

An artist worthy of gold intentions, he shapes nature, bends it to his will and makes magnificence mindful.

Quietly, methodically, he abuts sand-coloured rocks — cut crisp and slotted snug, so that each supports and adds value to its neighbour.

Sentinels, these stone cocoons — brooding lightly before dark slag heaps of folded geology.

The gold man — worthy of his name, builds them where they will make most impact in terms of colour, form, weight and meaning –

And he does it again and again…

Three women go to seek

Go to find an answer.

Three women, two women, one woman and a map

Go to be enhance-ed.

They hike long up to a Sentinel, inverted.

Built inside a stone refuge, it presents as an orifice that they are invited to climb into, then emerge, born again.

Crafted in the dank, dark interior, the vagina/ pineal gland/Eye of Sauron

Feels like a Secret.

Smells like Waking Up.
