Standing Stone
Sarah More (b. 1950)
Standing Stone
limestone
1.02 m high
2003
Standing Stone, Sarah More's ‘poem column', is inscribed with the message, 'Journey well / It is quickly done / I will stand always'. Carved from ancient limestone, it stands quietly by a woodland path like a milestone or a memorial, reminding us that while we might pass it by, it will stand forever. The piece reflects More's interest in materials, design, craftsmanship, and particularly the rhythm and balance of carved lettering.
