Thankyou for the open and warm welcomes. It's a big help to a new bee.
@Carolyn, I've found a few levels of thought occurring as I've developed this.
Firstly, it's black and white. A grayscale running from pure white to pure black.
My initial thoughts as i put this image together focused around bw photography, and how it's sometimes conveyed as pure or 'sacred' (maybe not around here but there are such places :-) ) It's a very old form of photography that could also be considered to be in it's afterlife, so a gravestone seemed apt.
Later thoughts(gets hazy here, you're warned) include black and white opinions held onto, religiously perhaps, and leading to decay, death and destruction, there's probably room for "set in stone" to be used about now. You could also reverse that, and see that the centre ground, between extremes and using parts of each to make life the best for all as a 'sacred' ideal worth holding, even into death.
I'd like to hear any other readings that occur to people.
@Yakim I looked at it horizontally, and again after your comment, but there's something about the lighting that didn't add up for me(I suspect it's the highlights in the bottom of the carving). Perhaps it's just because I know the stone is flat in the ground and was lit by a low winter sun.
Please keep the thoughts coming.
Silver,
