As a four year old James Parker helped his father repair gaps in drystone walls surrounding the family farm in Galloway. The work sparked an interest in stone work which would eventually become his passion. His preferred material, slate, offers texture that many materials do not. The layers create depth, the construction is a source of intrigue to many and the sculptures seem to commune with their surroundings. Parker has completed over 100 public and private commissions in the UK and overseas. Pictured: Creation www.jamesparkersculpture.co.uk „„„

Italian-trained, Edinburgh-based stone sculptor Alasdair Thomson takes modern icons such as Nike trainers or a Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle and carves replicas which look like they might have been displayed on a plinth in ancient Rome or Athens. He says: “Each piece of stone has its own unique beauty formed over millions of years and it is a privilege to be the one to reveal it.” In Shirt (pictured) you can almost hear the wrapping paper rustle. www.alasdaircthomson.com

From Antwerp to Zurich silent, sculpted figures fixed high on walls, roofs and cornices have been following the goings-on below, some for centuries. Whether watching out for evil spirits, warning off trespassers or amusing passers- by, their smiles, grimaces or, er, stony expressions are a constant reminder that we are not alone. Here are some we have “met” on our travels. MARKETPLACE
