It is a masterly portrait of the artist creatingover four BOOK review decades a marvellously original, lucidly exploratory body of work. The dynamic transfigurative sensibility underlyingNash's art is shown in his poetic statement: “If stones are eggs they are birds too . . . Sculptors knock birds out of stones. By the time they have done with them they are neither birds nor stones. Except Brancusi's. But the stone birds of the field are always both . ” Philip Vann Ishbel Myerscough ‘Hair-do’ Flowers (see listing on this page)
