Artist's Statement
"To be born, a sculpture needs love and dedication right to the end..... direct or free carving is for me the closest one can get to original concept.... cutting direct into the stone has no alternatives..... I try to create a feeling, a wish, or a dream - not a sequence of similar items, not a style, but a complete random exercise in creativity..... my style is that I don't have a style.  Look at the piece, love it or hate it, but don’t try to understand it... I create because I must create.  My task as a carver is to make the things I see in my mind.....there is no difference between my original idea and the 3D work in stone.  I do not carve what I see, I carve what I have in my heart, the beauties of appearance must not smother the beauties of thought...all my pieces are unique, more because I cannot do the same thing twice with the same energy of the original."  ~Christopher Stone
