ARTIST STATEMENT:
My work reflects a range of interest over a variety of subjects, none of which, I must admit, to examining in any great academic depth, preferring instead (or perhaps merely being guilty of indolence) to jump about freely from one thing to another, noting something, or not, and then off to the next interesting destination and hopefully, eventually, serendipitously, to make what is for me at any rate, some creative connections which in turn lead to inspiration becoming manifest. If I were an insect I would be a Grasshopper rather than an Ant. I would rather know a little about a lot of things than a lot about a few things…
I find myself drawn to all sorts: antiques and architecture, metal, wood and glass, stone and tools, lightning, wheels and road-side shrines, furniture, sculpture, the Renaissance and Art Deco, paintings and planes, trains and automobiles, islands and deserts, museums and clear blue skies…

AbstractThe Miraculous Arrival by Land and Sea of the Saint into the West by Noah Taylor
£10,800 inc VATThe Miraculous Arrival by Land and Sea of the Saint into the West by Noah Taylor, Forged and fabricated steel
Artists Statement: ‘The work alludes to the mythical ways by which certain Saints during the early centuries AD visited these shores to spread Christianity. Millstones, leaves and other fantastical craft were employed. Referring to our modern world, this version has similarities to a Windsurfer, Stand Up Paddle Board, Windcart and Skateboard. The Saint steering his way into the Westcountry bears resemblance to the logo of the iconic 60???s television series. He, like his ship, is only partially incorporated adding to the mystery???’
