King of Dust is a stonemason's personal journey through the
landscapes of south-west England and the sculpture which first
inspired him to pick up tools: the Romanesque. In the early years
of the 21st century, mentally exhausted, the archaeologist Alex
Woodcock carved a stone for the first time and realised how much
more there was to learn about the subject from which he had made
his life's work. Determined to understand the work by making and
carving, as well as theoretically, he retrained as a stonemason and
spent several years working at Exeter Cathedral. Ten years after
that first carving a move to Cornwall prompted an urge to
re-explore the little known Romanesque (12th century) carvings of
the south-west. King of Dust follows a year of these wanderings,
being both an archaeology of the images and a meditation on
learning the craft. Ultimately it is about the power of medieval
art to transform a life.
