Stones have spirits. If you listen they tell you what wonders they
have seen, what lessons they have learned.
The stone has waited countless centuries to show the world the beauty hidden within. Like a surfer riding a wave, I never fight the stone. I allow the flow of the stone to guide me. I never remove any more material than the stone wants me to.
Form and function are Nature's greatest relationships. They transcend
time and survive evolution.
That beauty is the result of proportion is both visually obvious and mathematically calculable. Nowhere are form, function and proportion more beautifully exhibited than in the human form.
It is said that Beauty is Truth. Truth is usually simple when we
understand it. To get to the Truth in life
often requires removing layers of fear, ignorance, hatred, etc. Working in stone is an analogy for finding Truth in life. We remove until we reveal.
