Souls in Love

Souls in Love by Frederic Chevarin (2012)

A white marble sculpture donated to The Parks Trust by Tony Sellers to commemorate his wife Debbie Sellers who had been responsible for starting MK digital initiatives like MK Web. Tragically Tony passed away not long after his wife in February 2012 and the piece was then donated by their sons and dedicated to both Tony and Debbie.

Frederic Chevarin is mainly a self-taught stone sculptor based in London, who has learnt from stonecutters and sculptors alike in France and Italy.  His carvings are inspired by nature, expressing spirit and lightness of being.

Souls in Love can be found on the edge of Willen Labyrinth at What3Words fights.braved.tiptoes.
