Formed over millions of years in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, three sculptures were cut from one ancient boulder, each now standing in quiet individuation. With forms inspired by the shifting stone columns of the nearby Santa Monica Mountains, their articulated segments recall the slow choreography of geologic time—stone rising, breaking, and reforming in endless dialogue with the earth. The stone surfaces bear the memory of rupture, yet they stand poised in human scale, evoking beings both familiar and otherworldly.
Each carries a distinct personality, a subtle contraposto that suggests posture and presence. Together they gather like a family of ancient entities—siblings divided yet bound by a shared origin. Wise and enduring, they pay tribute to the planet’s resilience and changeability, reminding us that stone, too, is never still. In their company, we may glimpse our kinship with the earth itself: transient yet continuous, fragile yet undying.
