Trojan Hammer (Cloth). 2010, hand carved Italian marble, 6 x 40.5 x 15cm

Trojan Hammer (Cloth) appears partially wrapped, as if a weapon stored, a secret hidden or the mournful shrouding of what could have been.

Familiar to my many sculptors, the lump-hammer is a brute, with a long and chequered history. They were used to carve the marble of the Parthenon, and then again to deface it. Often used as a symbol for honest labour, they are the quintessential tool.
