  10. Tout Quarry • Location • Geological Features • Artist Works

  12. Geological Features • Portland Stone • Formed 150 million years ago during the Jurassic • Type of stone & location dictate the art

  13. “Fallen Fossil” Stephen Marsden • "Fallen Fossil came after regular visits to the Museum of Natural History, where I was attracted by some fossils embedded in the matrix stone, punctuating the rough broken quality of the stone…In terms of the future -- for me it was the experience of working collaboratively, this wealth of material, this wealth of space - a contrast to perennially under-resourced, over-crowded art schools. Stone has such a very strong feeling of permanence, of geological time."(Stephen Marsden) http://learningstone.org/ff.html
