Born during WW2 and growing up in post war London I find it incredible now that so much destruction - of people and resources- was wrought. What began as a dispute between cousins, a Tsar and and a Kaiser, ended with worldwide impoverishment and enormous loss of life. I remember bomb damage all around the city. Spaces for an odd mixture of futuristic buildings in the 21st century. The chess set is a simple image of a world that shaped my world. The 16 pawns, are all in a sailor suit. A fashionable outfit for children of a great power in the early days of the century, many of whom would die in the wars to come. Please note, the set does not include a board. The width and depth given are with the pieces arranged as on a large chess board with 2" squares. For display I suggest a simple case is made to hang on a wall, with a shelf,or shelves. The back of the case could be a chess board.

France
Apart from a few works in exhibitions most of my time since art school has been in a commercial world. Now living in France I like to make ceramic pieces on a variety of themes.The catastrophe of war or the tragedy of natural disaster for example. The drama of dreams when the mind sorts our life experience into an altogether new tapestry, is another. One beyond the control of the artists hand or eye. I grew up in post war London and try to understand why bomb sites, now gherkins and other weird and wonderful constructions, now surround St. Pauls and the city, Here is where the Luftwaffe dropped their deadly cargo. Now I learn our bombers wrought ten times the destruction on Germany, and Churchill had ordered that St. Pauls should be saved from incendiary bombs with priority over homes. St. Pauls was a symbol of our invincibility. I remember approaching St. Pauls from Fleet Street, bomb sites all around and a railway running overhead. Very strange.
