Stone is our material of choice, and listening to the stone as we carve becomes integral to the finished sculpture. We create each piece with our own hands, making an intimate connection with the stone through direct carving. Each sculpture is unique without duplicating and fabrication. These sculptures become a part of the environment and create a powerful sense of serenity and peace. To the artists, the combination of stone and water is a refection of the beauty and simplicity of the natural world.
