Cut...I start with an irregular shaped piece
of stone.
I turn the raw piece in my hands; until I sense a path forward. I level the base, so the stone sits upright; on my intuition. I walk around it and study it from close and far; back, sides, and front. And then I cut. Deep, strong, and aggressive at the outset, and then progressively more precise. I see clearer the deeper I go. And then softer rhythmic, continuous taps as the chisel barely advances. And finally, putting the mallet aside, I force the sharp edge along the surface. I can sense when I get too close.
New Stone Pieces for 2025
Once the Sculpture Wagon is functional. I will put my hand to creating new stone works during the year
I have completed over 60 single-original works in stone. All have been sold. These works were primarily created in Canadian Serpentine I found in Northern Quebec.
