Continuing east along the Tees Sculpture Trail towards Yarm, we find Russ Coleman’s second Touchstone at Newsham Grange Farm.
“Our island was sculpted by ice when the planet warmed, so receding glaciers left erratics. Stones from another place further north were carried along in the ice. Ancient time travellers that helped shape this place.
The artist sculpts and polishes the stones to reveal their true beauty. Delicate yet robust each piece gives visitors a direct connection to the land on which they stand.
The piece is etched with words:
‘Sit and reflect eons and seconds, continents and fingertips.’”
