The Stones of Callanish, those monolithic ancient stones from the Outer Hebrides in Scotland have been and remain Legge’s primary inspiration and continue to inform her exquisite navigation in that space between abstraction and figuration. From the beginning, she saw the circled monoliths as elusively figurative and she imagined the power and mystery possible by transforming varied rock-like shapes into a suggestion of the human form.
