A huge sculpture created by British artist “Ted Stourton” at Camelot Castle Tintagel is having a timely impact on global awareness.
Sculpted in 20 Tonnes of Granite Rock and carved into the natural landscape of the Cornish Headland at Tintagel, Stourton’s ” The Ripples of Peace” has caught the imagination of aerial photographers, schoolteachers, and international opinion leaders alike.
This sculpture is delivering an extraordinary impact that is incomparable with anything ever done by any artist ever before. Indeed, there is not one woman or man alive today at this time for whom this extraordinary sculpture will not have instant consequences. Crafted a few yards away from Tintagel Island, the mythological birthplace of King Arthur, (the legendary king who brought peace to the British Isles during the dark ages), “The Ripples of Peace” has been created at a time when its message has never been more needed.
As friends peacefully walk in the grass lined ripples and granite of the sculpture that Stourton has created, RAF Jaguar Jets are known to have made low level passes overhead which only serves as a chilling reminder of the consequences of a failure to maintain peace, their booster jets fracturing the solitude of a millennia. The thousands of people that are set to visit and walk through this sculpture over the coming spring and summer months are invited by Stourton to understand and contact the real value of peace friendship with values of helping and encouraging other people’s creativity, purposes dreams , wishes and positive thoughts.
The “Ripples of Peace” as a symbol ; and as a sculpture, is intended both to be interactive and, uniquely, copied.
Stourton has invited many other artists to duplicate the symbol at Tintagel in whatever media they chose. Plans for further sculptures are currently underway and are spreading across our world. Schools and Universities across Britain have and are being invited to send in their representations of the Ripples of Peace and many parents whose children have been troubled by talk of War and Terrorism in recent months have found that encouraging their families to enter the Ripples of Peace competition is immensely positive.
Plans are afoot to re-produce the “Ripples of Peace”
symbol in the Saudi Arabian Desert.
The latter will be visible from the moon.
VISIT AND WALK “THE RIPPLES OF PEACE” AT CAMELOT.
Visitors are invited to walk round the sculpture clockwise and then to repeat the walk round the sculpture anti clockwise, then to record their experiences or thoughts during the walk then in writing seated at the round table at Camelot. These are then collected each day and a copy of each person’s individual experience is then ready to be sent to Downing Street and can be published in the Metropolitan Newspapers affiliated with The Mappin Art Foundation which has sponsored the sculpture.
“What is rarely understood today is that Peace is not just a state, it is an ability. War is terrible desecration for mankind and future generations. A failure to maintain peace is a failure in an ability.” said Stourton ” . This Sculpture is designed for participation. Those that have walked the Ripples of Peace at Tintagel have discovered that it is quite an extraordinary experience.”
Wishing you a pleasant day and best wishes from all the family 😊
