Marion Atwood comments”

“My sculptural warriors have a peaceful side often represented by birds juxtaposed next to a reluctant warrior ready for battle.

I am drawing from the memory of my ancient Celtic ancestors to a lost time still lingering in the mists of the Scottish highlands.

The white face and hair depict lime which was often used on the face, hair, and body prior to battle. The yellow torc around the neck may have had a spiritual significance, may have protected the wearer and been an indication of the wearer’s status - gold ones must surely have been a symbol of wealth.“
