In my 5th decade of carving stone, and at age 63, I’m beginning to feel settled down inside about what I’m doing as a stone carver. My level of comfort and confidence in handling the material I love to work with best, granite, is high enough that insecurity about process is no longer debilitating. The forms and series that I see I am focused on, now that more than four decades have passed, are strongly rooted in my intuitive 3D imagination, joining together with the comfort and confidence in process. Workdays pass quickly, endlessly piling up, along with the cut off bits of granite going into my discard pile!
I’m walking a bit more slowly across the work yard in the morning now, and definitely feeling a lot more stiff and sore in the evening, but the time spent in between is an unconscious, blissful, timeless moment. Timeless moment: there’s a funny oxymoron.
