CELEBRATING AN HISTORIC SCOTTISH QUARRY
John Maine

At the 'PLACE OF ORIGIN' three artists defined a landscape, and marked 160 years of granite extraction and stoneworkers' skills at Kemnay Quarry, near Aberdeen, Scotland.

This talk will also describe two coastal interventions in England, where art, engineering and stonework combine in the shaping of marine defences.

As a sculptor and Royal Academician, John Maine also advises on the Fabric of Westminster Abbey and St George's Chapel Windsor and is a member of the Commission for English Cathedrals. John has spoken at two previous Symposiums, the very first one in 2000 and the fourth one in 2004.
