Poised Bird
	By Bridget McCrum

McCrum works primarily in stone, from which some pieces are also cast in bronze. Originally influenced by early votaries, ancient axe-heads and the sculpture of Brancusi, Hepworth and more, her work now reflects the landscape that surrounds her.

Poised Bird as seen by the artist: " I simplified it to little more than a pebble, but retained the feeling of a bird. By placing this simple form on a tall plinth I made a small sculpture fit in a large space without losing its impact.
