"From the beginning of time, stone has represented the solid form from which came creativity. In the mythic and religious senses, stone represented the dwelling place of God or the Soul. Stone is the symbol of being, of cohesion, and of harmonious reconcilliation with self. It is the foundation of creating sculpture. Carving sculpture is the process of allowing the energies of the stone and the artist to dictate the visual form that emerges from the stone."
