We love to use the phrase “etched in stone”, with an ironic wink, but to me it has a vital immediacy. I am a stone carver, and I tell stories in stone.
We know our ancient history largely from the artefacts in stone left behind by past civilizations. I want to follow in that tradition but with a contemporary twist. My vision is to capture events, general and specific moments in time, that relay our shared human experience, events that have marked episodes in our collective history.
We do not know what the future holds for us, for mankind as a whole, no one ever really does. But in this day and age we do not even know if our history will be captured in a permanent way, a way that will survive well int the future.
Where the digital world has so far proven ephemeral and momentary, stone lasts through time.
In a world where everything old is new again, I want the digital age to meet the stone age.
