Working in stone has developed my interest in suggestive forms referencing figures and the landscape.  The organic and hard-edged angular shapes interlocked together evoke a sense the body or landscape between states of movement and rest.  

Carving is a slow process.  I like to take my time with a work, allowing the stones character to inform the form of each piece.  The two main stones I use are Soapstone and Serpentine, both have their own unique qualities.  Using hand tools, I feel my way around the surface of the stone as I carve.  The process is very meditative and reflective.
