Stone Mad by Seamus Murphy

January 17, 2024 By P Commane

Front Cover
Frontispiece
Title Page

 Seamus Murphy carved his own niche to become one of the most respected sculptors in his field. Stone Mad is an account of his days as an apprentice where he learned to work the stone and discovered that there is no regularity in nature.

With hammer, mallet and chisel he shaped and fashioned rough boulders under the guidance of the master stone carvers.

Their unique voices emanate from the pages as Seamus allows the men to tell their own stories by using the language of the stonies .

Stone Mad documents his years of joy and struggle. His artistic feeling for quality responded to his workmates reverence for the well made thing .

The result is a book of surpassing beauty, full of warmth, humour and profound perception.

Our copy was published in 1966 and has lovely illustrations by William Harrington.
