The artists statement:
" The natural stone itself has information and
appeal so I don't look for form, but listen to the character of the stone
through the act of working, strain the eye, and control myself so that
stone and artist can be seen as one with each other. I think of myself
as one of the materials I am working with and how I can be projected in
the stone. As a person it is possible to become the medium not merely an
artist. There is a delicate balance between Nature and Sculpture."
