Description

Graven Image was co-commissioned by the BBC as part of Kenneth Hesketh’s tenure as Composer in the House with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. Hesketh writes that as well as the idea of a marker or stele the work was inspired by ‘the medieval Memento Mori, a painting or sculpture which seeks to remind its owner of the brevity of life (portraying, for example, a living head opposite a cadaver’s head or skull). There are many allegorical symbols connected with the Memento Mori; guttering candles, clocks, and bells being some of the most potent and all are markers of time […].’
(Kenneth Hesketh)
