NATURAL WORKS OF ART, SHAPED BY NATURE, SCULPTED BY SCOTT WITTMAN
Kent and flint stone have a long history together. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of stone-tool manufacture, demonstrating that Neanderthals were living in Kent about 110,000 years ago. They knew how to light and maintain fires using flint and relied on spears as their main hunting weapon by knapping the stone to shape it.
Flint has also captured the imagination of craftsman for centuries who have used it on flat surfaces of churches from around the beginning of the 14th century. Rocks with naturally formed holes also have folklore attached to them.
This history is what inspires me to create sculptures from flint stone. I look for flint with unique sculptural qualities to it and design the sculpture around its shape. Each sculpture is unique as each piece of flint is a one off.
