"I sense its gaze trailing me as I weave between the carvings around the spandrels of the door. Then, once again, I look up - and it catches my eye. The connection flares across time. It doesn’t offer lost wisdom or divine revelation. Instead, it plants a single thought in my mind: capture me.
And so I do. I sketch it. I trace its contours, map its imperfections. I bring it into my own world, into my art. The sculpture is no longer just an ancient face set in stone - it lives now in my mind, my hand, my brush. And as I brush in the colour, I get a powerful sense of the hand that shaped it, nearly a millennium ago, reaching forward through time. And in some small way, as my hand moves across the canvas, as the image takes shape beneath my fingers, I reach back and touch it."

Andy Marshall’s Genius Loci Digest: 31 Jan 2025
As well as appealing to my pareidolia, this face - this worn and weathered fragment of the past - embodies the words of St. Jerome: β€˜the face is the mirror of the mind and confesses the secrets of the heart.’

Set within a black mount with white bevel cut, printed on fine art archival paper. 

Print (aperture) size is A4 (approx 210 mm by 297mm or 8.27 x 11.69"). 

Fits frame size 14 x 11" (approx 360 x 280mm). Frame not included.

On the front is a note which I used as the central idea to write my Digest on Ely Cathedral.
