it is a wonder how we humanize objects and dehumanize people at times, throughout time artists did their best to immortalize the human experience in stone or wood or bronze. at the same time politicians sent other peoples nearly grown children as soldiers off to battle and kill their equivilant on the other side of the border.here in my period of affection my hands carved a stone to take on elements of senuality exptrapolated straight out of my favored experiences, I worked relentlessly at it all semester long and even overcame my love hate relation with sanding and finishing to acheive my desired end result.
the untold beauty of stone comes to the surface at fine sanding in the thousands like 1500 up to 2500 grit; there you bring out the veining and colors and translucency that make you fall in love all over.
I thank all those that helped in its creation and those who all along believed in my abilities to create and encouraged me to explore stone and incorporate it into my passion.
my wish is for artist of all mediums to one day out number those politicians and have cultural exchanges instead of the alternative widow makers.
