From Elswyth, a series exploring the ways stories are carved into stone.
In Truro Cathedral, the figure of St Nicholas stands watch – patron of sailors, children, and travellers, his legend retold here in sculptured folds and careful detail. I’m drawn to how devotion becomes material – how the sculptor’s hand transforms a miracle into texture, shadow, and line, holding faith still across the centuries.
Stories in stone – a tale from the 14th century of three boys restored to life by St Nicholas.
