"This is very simple, but in my mind I kept thinking about swords being sharpened on church walls or canal boats being dragged around a cornerstone, both activities leaving traces in the stone. You could think of these marks as being a kind of memorial, like the axe marks left on a block, which remain after a decapitation. It’s interesting how graffiti, given great age, becomes more than disfiguration. These are some of the thoughts that a simple object, a scored stone, can stimulate." - Steve Dilworth
