“Story of the Stone”

Town of Saint Andrews

2014 Symposium

Stone is the earth on which we walk. It is alive, gives us life, and carries our history.

In “ Story of the Stone” lines and forms reach out from the stone as roots from a tree or veins.

The forms emerge from the stone as from the heart as a source where life is born.
