Artist Description

In repairing these stones, I imagine what they used to be,
attempting to make whole something that has lost part of itself.  I
consider what the stone has experienced to end up in such a state of
incompleteness. However, by replacing the missing pieces by fabricating what
perhaps once was and forcing it to exist again, I am permanently trapping the
stone in a broken state. I am filling in the blanks with what was imagined to
be true. An attempt at compassion that traps the stone in a transition. By
doing so, the stone cannot wear down the sharp, damaged edges until, though
changed, it would no longer be seen as broken.
