Head, Hand and Tool



Head, Hand and Tool is a stone sculpture created by Lee Grandjean in 1983, which was originally situated outside Cleveland Gallery on Victoria Road in Middlesbrough. It is inscribed with the words "Head, Hand and Tool. Lee Grandjean, 1983. This sculpture of a stonemason celebrates the three essential elements in all creativity, whether in the studio or in the factory. The face is that of a fellow-sculptor, and the hand grips a mason’s chisel. The work relates to tradition of stone-carving which has flourished in Britain since the early Middle Ages.
