<p>The print portfolio <i>Stones and Bones</i> replicates something of the feel of Piper’s sketchbooks, containing landscapes, figure studies and sketches of prehistoric and Christian carvings. The prints reproduce Piper's photographs and sketches, sometimes two to a page and with annotations and quotations. These two scenes are of rocks at Nant Francon, North Wales, near where the Pipers had a cottage for some years. The quotation is from AC Ramsay <i>The Old Glaciers of Switzerland and North Wales</i>, 1860.</p><p><em>Gallery label, May 2007</em></p>
