These sea stacks were an unexpected discovery on Madeira’s northern coast. Their presence was powerful: three forms rising from restless blue water, each distinct, standing together.

There were three of us on that trip. In my memory, the rocks became connected to our friendship and the experience we shared.

With deep blues, strong shapes and moving water, Stone into Sky brings a feeling of strength and companionship into a room. It is a piece to live beside, somewhere you will see it often.

You might recognise your own friendships here: the people who make exploring the world more meaningful, and whose presence stays with you when you return home.
