Emily Young — Purbeck Blue Angel
Emily Young

Purbeck Blue Angel

Emily Young's "Purbeck Blue Angel" is a sculptural work that exemplifies her distinctive approach to stone carving, utilizing the distinctive blue limestone quarried from Purbeck in Dorset, England. The piece demonstrates Young's characteristic style of abstraction informed by organic forms and the inherent qualities of her material, creating a figure that suggests both angelic presence and geological substance. The sculpture reflects Young's broader artistic practice of revealing the latent forms within stone through a process of patient carving and material investigation.
