Works for the Enduring of Suffering series were
completed within a year and a day. Started on the Celtic
festival of Beltaine on 1 May 1993 they are current
observations, meditations and reflections via life
experience and concern suffering and pain.
Based upon the Roman marble of the 'Dying Gaul' and 'Lindow
Bog Man' the Druid Lovernius, Celtic origins, the Roman
occupation, the agony and appalling atrocities in modern
Bosnia, Africa, South and Central America; the horror for
some of village or boardroom, the environment, social
torture, that ordinary people are made to endure daily by
the Establishment, State or condition.
Nothing human appears to have been learnt in two thousand
years. The few dominate the rest, worldwide and in our own
community.
Enduring of Suffering is an homage to those who hurt
physically or mentally and expect no help or change.
