Through stone carving, I enter and discover an ageless, soulful language of interconnected patterns, inside rocks. These patterns reference the underlying order, contained inside chaos.

Carving along the stone's channels and grooves, removing the excess, reveals the inner form. Each stone offers me a new insight into primordial awareness, the nature of reality, the Cosmos and its music.

The form, thus revealed, is a witness to the fertile, self-replenishing connection we have with our own eternal, indestructible essence.

My deepest wells of inspiration are physics' string theory, various philosophical and mystical disciplines, and the Cosmic Mother's story.

All that exists manifests from an interactive dance of energy and self-organizing endless waves of probability.

These stone sculptures offer a small glimpse into this, and the storytelling universe that we inhabit.

Individually and collectively, we can choose to express and create a good and true life story. Perhaps, in so doing, we may bend life's probability waves into a reality of love, wholesomeness, and peace.

Ultimately, the message received from every stone is this: "Welcome; There is only one of us here, and we are not alone."
