Mo Farquharson is a sculptor of considerable ability who sadly died last year aged only sixty-four. The Miners commemorates seventy-three colliers who died in the Udston Colliery explosion in 1887.
She usually did smaller pieces and exhibited in Cork Street every few years where I bought two of her bronzes.
Mo liked to depict her observations. She sculpted queues at bus stops and football crowds and saw dog walkers when she was exercising her own terrier.
I wish I had bought more of her work but more importantly I wish she could have enjoyed a longer life.
Oh, Christopher, is that ever a charmer. T’would itself have been a fine subject for a Mo F. sculpture.
Quintessentially British picture of you with Bertie, Edouard Manet eat you heart out (Humm though he was French) hey ho I think you know what I mean.
