Sumi sculpture by Marilyn is Neolithic inspired and is being well received by everyone who lays eyes on these.

Sumi Sculptures by Marilyn, “Temple Guardians” and “Goddess 1”

Sumi e Sculpture, Zen style, fired-clay with black glaze, of the “Sacred Feminine” series by Marilyn Wells, inspired by Neolithic hand carvings. I call this Sumi e, as it is black as ink.

Nothing is more pure than the ancient Neolithic figures unearthed, housed now in museums, unsigned by forgotten artists. I find a heart connection with each artist whose work I am drawn to. I feel like we are touching hands across the centuries.

Life may not be a straight timeline. I am more inclined to believe God’s world is a circle, as the ancient Celts believed, according to John O’Donohue. I am closing the circle of time by coming back and joining hands with creators from these ancient, prehistoric times.

High fired clay ceramics, glazed in black.  Each piece is signed and marked by the artist. mounted on gently finished rose quartz stone, by sculptor on Instagram @wooldridgecharles.
