Peter Yarwood's resting forms bear a relation to objects carried and deposited by a river's flow, which have settled and started to take root. The artist says of the work, 'though bold, the forms emit a feeling of lightness and balance, by seemingly only having a small area in direct contact with the ground. I wanted to give an impression that they are still capable of being lifted up and moved on again. I like the idea of only partially revealing things, leaving the viewer to fill in the gaps over several viewings, prolonging the dialogue between viewer and the work'. The delicate patterning on the forms appears as if revealed through water attrition, peeling away at the outer layers of the stone and changing their appearance over time. The pieces are sensuous, evocative and tactile.
