There is an inscription on the front of the figure by Khalil Gibran, who wrote The Prophet. The inscription reads "You see but your shadow when you turn your back to the sun"
Shadow Keeper by Victoria Atkinson MRSS
Focusing on posture, Vicki’s androgynous figures are captured at the edge of movement with a gentle reminiscent humour present in their body language.
Monoliths and stone circles are evident, a sense of perpetual time and the feeling that something so still can evoke so much power. The figures and faces are composed, timeless, part of a group and yet distant, as if they are hiding behind a persona like an actor on stage.
