A few years ago I was part of a quite extraordinary project. This was a coming together of two countries, two regions ( Devon and Brittany) with an identical mythic Arthurian lore and celtic tribal heritage, funded by the EEC. This was The Shared Legends Project, a joint venture between Le Centre de l' Imagainaire Arthurien and The Chagford Filmmaking Group, and the theme was Sir Lanval, an Arthurian knight with a faery lover, who is pursued by Guinevere. It comprised of a UK made film and an exhibition of fine art and sculpture, 26 of the top name artists in the ' faery' genre - 13 artists from Britain and 13 from France, I was UK curator/artists co-ordinator. This is one of my pieces from that exhibition and is a representation of Marie de France, the supposed arthoress of the Lai de Lanval Citrine, smokey quartz, Biwa pearl, freshwater pearl, mother of pearl, blue topaz, natural shell, green tourmaline, amethyst, AAA cubic zirconia, Swarovski crystal
