Description
Richard Barnes' Mnemosyne is a poetic-prose exploration of the motivation to pursue sculptural carving in an age of mechanical reproduction. The book presents a personal response to the questions of history and tradition that sit heavily on the shoulders of a contemporary carver.
The author reflects on the role of stonecarving in a world where traditional techniques are increasingly overshadowed by modern technology. Barnes' work is both a meditation on the craft itself and a deeply personal inquiry into the artist's place within it.
