I search for stones that have character and sculptural power. After studying the stone, I make a
series of restrained interventions, cutting and carving to bring water into an interaction with this
piece of geological memory. Yet these water elements go beyond simple than visual displays.
With each piece, I also try to integrate the water element with the local hydrological pattern in
some significant way. The intention is to bring the presence of water into space in a poetic
manner, connect the water to ecologically sound water use on the site, and finally to gently
encourage a watershed consciousness.
