More works from the New London Ct. Saint Marys Cemetery.

The softer the original stone, the softer the details become, rain,wind, and pollution take their toll

Sometime even the lichen adds accent, as it fills folds and crevices bringing out the details of the work

Not all the works are large, here two young angels wrap a cross with ivy on this child's grave.

Some works are not statues at all, but works carved into the flat surface of the stone look at the amount of detail in this work.An angel with a cross, wings spread, leaves above the figure and it grasps flowers with its other hand.

Some works are actually beautiful in their simplicity

Here the artist combined stone carving with a photo of the deceased, making for a strong feeling of despair and loss.Actually quite striking.
