Stone and Shadow explores the dialogue between stone, light, and perception. Rooted in the natural world, Senden Blackwood’s sculptural practice distills organic rhythms into abstract lines, textures, and forms. Working primarily with hard, unfigured stone, he investigates how light travels across curves and edges—how illumination transforms weight into movement and solidity into quiet radiance.

As the day unfolds, shifting light reveals new dimensions within each work, inviting viewers to experience stone as a living, responsive material. This interplay of surface and shadow becomes a language in itself—subtle, temporal, and contemplative.

The exhibition presents a collection of large freestanding works alongside smaller tabletop and wall-mounted pieces, arranged to harness the gallery’s natural light. Together, they form an immersive environment that invites slow looking and sensory engagement.

A short film accompanying the exhibition traces the five-year creation of Blackwood’s monumental work, completed in 2022, offering a deeper insight into the physical and philosophical dimensions of his practice. Stone and Shadow reveals not only the endurance and craft of stone carving but also its potential for stillness, transformation, and grace.
