Photographer's note: "Bristol-born sculpture, Stephen Cox has spent much time in Italy, studying architectural shapes and Renaissance stone-carving techniques. He has also travelled widely in Southern India to see first hand the ancient craft skills of the sub-continent's stonemasons. The two-part sculpture in carved stone represents the tension between dualities at the heart of many belief systems - positive/negative, male/female, yin/yan, birth/death. In Hindu religion, Devi signifies 'the Goddess', while Ganapathi alludes to the elephant god, Ganesh."
