Identifier: CC-12483-12710
Scope and Contents

Archive for A Garden of Wild Stones / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael; Lyle, Peter; Thorpe, John R.; Butler, Vincent; Oliver, George; Jones D., 1972 - 1973

 Item
Identifier: CC-12670-12913
Scope and Contents In Nov 1972, Finlay writes to Vincent Butler, who built the aircraft carrier sculpture for Stonypath, expressing his displeasure with the quality of the drawing for the Wild Stone project. Finlay indicates that unless Butler can produce a better drawing, their collaboration should cease. No reply from Butler is contained within this Archive and letters from Finlay to Peter Lyle, Michael Harvey, and George Thorpe are sent requesting their assistance with the project along with those of Butler. Finlay writes that the poems to be inscribed upon the Six Wild Stones are one word poems analogous to Japanese Haiku where art is a matter of brevity and suggestion and wild (native) stones in a formal area is equivalent to a Japanese rock Garden. Examples include the poem Curfew "Curlew." Curlew is a bird heard mostly on still, misty days or in the evening with a long, sad cry. Finlay includes a plan on graphite tracing paper, ...a large area mown grass ...stone paving slats...stone poems...

Archive for Greenwich Sundial / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael., 1971 - 1973

 Item
Identifier: CC-12731-12984
Scope and Contents From Jan 1971-Jan 1972, Basil Greenhill, Director National Maritime Museum, writes 3 letters to Finlay regarding a commission for a sundial. In April 1972, Finlay writes 2 letters to Michael Harvey dealing with aspects of this sundial. Harvey responds in May 1972 with concerns about images on the cube shape making up the sundial particularly leaving the top blank - "as if whatever should be there had been pinched" and placing the poem on the dial which might interrupt the flow of the poem. Finlay replies to Harvey about his concern about the blank top of the sundial by pointing out that this may be a matter of scale; he feels that the blank top will not compromise the work in an 8" or 10" version but agrees that the sundial will do best at the top. He also accepts Harvey's suggestions for words at the top of the panels but rejects Harvey's idea for using Arabic rather than Roman numerals. Finlay notes the pun on the image of a fleet of ships (fleet=swift, fleet=of hours). In July...

Archive for Kelso Project: A Solemnity of Sundials / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael., 1973 - 1974

 Item
Identifier: CC-12764-13019
Scope and Contents In May 1973, Finlay writes to Harvey that L. MacDermid suggested to the Kelso City Council that a permanent work of Finlay's be installed at the opening of the Kelso arts festival in Sep 1973. Finlay is unsure of the scale, price and type of work desired but proposes three sundials and considers A Solemnity of Sundials (from Sailor's Calendar) most appropriate because Kelso is on the Tweed river (a salmon river) & Solemnity depicts sundials, swallows & fish. He wants Harvey to provide sketches. Within 2 weeks Harvey does the sketches, preferring A Solemnity of Sundials to the other suggestion, Dividing the Light (from Poetry Review). A sketch of Solemnity is included in this archive. In June 1973, Finlay writes to L. MacDermid with his ordered preferences for a vertical sundial, Dividing...,A Solemnity...& A Garden of Sea-Stones with rationale for each in the city of Kelso. He also praises Harvey for his quick dispatch. Finlay writes MacDermid about the final plans in...

Archive for Little Secret Bird-Bath / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Thomson, George L.; Allan, James., 1972 - 1974

 Item
Identifier: CC-12722-12971
Scope and Contents In July 1972, Mr. Greenhill, Director of the National Maritime Museum, sends Finlay a letter thanking him for donated prints and catalogues and mentions the validity of depicting "Little Secret" on stone as an average topsail schooner. The next letter from Finlay to George Thomson dated Dec 1973 discusses the significance of a printer's sign (meaning reverse order of letters) and the drawing of the image for "Little Secret." Finlay also sends a letter to James Allen requesting red sandstone for this project. In June 1974, Thomson sends a letter to Finlay in a exceptional calligraphic script indicating that illness has prevented him from completing "Numbered Sails" (aka Little Secret). Finlay sends further details to Allen about the stone for the sculpture. Finlay writes Thomson in June with corrections to his drawing and indicates that Allen will do the stone carving. Thompson replies in July with an outstanding calligraphic script agreeing to these corrections which Finlay...

Archive for Mare/Terra / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael; Goodricke, Susan; Costley R; Jandl E., 1973

 Item
Identifier: CC-12809-13096
Scope and Contents

In Sep 1973, Finlay writes to Michael Harvey requesting that Harvey and Goodricke make a ceramic-concrete maquette, based upon a Ron Costley sketch, for the Stuttgart Max Plank project. Finlay provides detailed instructions on the lettering for the work. A month later, he comments on the Harvey efforts indicating that he wants a "Matisse'y" effect which depends upon a flat surface as opposed to a kinetic effect that looses the balance between the visual and the word part. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Archive for Poems Written Upon The Breath A Claudel Varient: Projected Sundial / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael; Thorpe, John R.; Harvey M; Cutts S; Lassus B; Gardner I., 1973 - 1974

 Item
Identifier: CC-12723-12972
Scope and Contents In March 1973, Finlay writes to Stephen Bann to compliment him on an account of a Tarasque weekend and to discuss a poem in French by Claudel, from "100 Phrases for Fans," that had been translated and sent to him by Edward Lucie-Smith. He encloses a copy of this poem which he retyped with his own modifications as well as a letter from Smith. Finlay requests Bann's opinion as to the appropriateness for him to interpret the poem's layout as a sundial inscription and of Finlay's rendition. Still in March 1973, Finlay writes to Edward Lucie-Smith for clarification of Claudel's poem that he had sent to Finlay previously. The poem reads Fan (opposite page), Poems written upon the breath. Finlay asks Smith as to why "Fan" is on the opposite page and why the words have been split. Finlay wonders whether the disjointed words equate to a fan-picture when the fan is closed and if the phrase in the poem, "written upon a breath" signifies that the fan makes a little breathing. Bann responds to...
