L Heart Knot
This abstract sculpture was carved out of Vermont marble. It is a knot, which expresses the knots in life. It reminds me of a heart, so I called it L Heart Knot. The way that this modern sculpture bends and folds within itself is something that shows the limitless qualities that one object in nature can possess. To make something as rigid and solid as a piece of stone look so soft and flexible, it shows you that anything is possible. If you saw the piece of stone prior to the sculpting process, you would have never imagined that it could look the way that it does when sculpting is complete. Art is about having a vision and an imagination, and a modern sculpture such as this one captures that point.

My passion for sculpting is expressed in my creation of the virtual records of contemporary culture. I capture everyday objects in carved stone, using a technique I invented more than 20 years ago.
At the start I mull over the food, article of clothing or particular brand I wish to replicate as historical evidence for future generations. I feel driven to duplication by carving stone of similar color – or purchasing one of neutral tones and staining it to that which I desire.
I ask myself, ‘Will a bottle of Heinz ketchup exist in 2100 CE?’
A jar of Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise is best represented in white travertine, for example, polished to the same glow of the jar I am copying.
And when I see friends scrutinize the carved hat on the table, endless hours of chiseling and sanding, staining and mounting are all worth it.
I’ve achieved my goal when the U.S. government writes to tell me I cannot copyright a work of art because it too closely resembles the product that I chose to record in stone.
The day I received that letter was one of the happiest days of my life.
