RUSS COLEMAN
Russ Coleman uses the skills and practices he learned as a Monumental Mason and letter carver combined with his experience in the construction industry to create works that celebrate the world around us. After ten years of craft and graft, Russ studied Fine Art in Kingston upon Hull in the early 1990s and has created public artworks across the UK for the past 25 years. His latest works extend a long tradition of British sculpture combining humanity and landscape. Russ’ return to stone as an expressive medium has produced a set of pieces that are as rich as they are simple. They are a quiet contemplation of geological time and the brevity of life.

PAT WALLS
The central part of Pat Walls’ practice is site specific work for the public domain. He makes figurative and abstract sculptures from a wide range of stones including limestone, sandstone and marble, and also works in other media, most recently in cast iron. The scale of his work varies from monumental landmark sculptures to small intimate carvings.
Working on a commission basis, each project results in a distinct body of work. His abstract sculptures for the Tees Sculpture Trail are direct responses to specific locations and landscapes. His work explores the relationship between people and places, developing public art interventions that encourage interaction and engagement.
