British Sculptor Matthew Simmonds Creates Miniature Marble Sculptures Of Medieval Interiors

British sculptor Matthew Simmonds creates miniature marble sculptures of medieval interiors. Making a play of architectural spaces on a small scale, the solid stone into which the sculptures are carved is opened up to reveal intricate internal worlds in which the changing viewpoint and light play a strong role in defining the sculptures.

Inspired by a life-long fascination with stone buildings, and drawing on skills learned as an architectural stone carver, Simmonds’ work takes stone architecture, and particularly sacred architecture, as a central theme.
