I carve in marble because it is physical and dynamic. I feel it from the point of impact with a chisel, right down into my toes. For every swing of the hammer, my body is holding a position relative to that point of impact. Essentially, the marble dictates my every move – it demands I dance for it, and I appreciate that – desire it even.

The marble also takes me on a linear trip – I cannot go back. This forces me to be bold. I am in a Bootcamp that demands respect, discipline, stamina, forethought and final decisions – all the characteristics I felt I was, as a young man, in need of.
