All of the work I'm making is symbolic of how complex our human lives have become. One 

could say that it is a record of where we stand in the midst of tremendous technological 

and scientific advances, and the existential questions that inevitably follow.

I have been carving inscriptional and bas relief work in stone for 40 odd years and am the 

eighth generation of carvers to continue this work at the John Stevens Shop, following 

faithfully in traditions that reach back thousands of years.

Bodies of computer code, both taken from the web and also generated with algorithmic 

tools, are symbolically represented as inhuman products of the computer mind. I attempt to reestablish a sense of humanity by calligraphically interpreting them and then carving them 

into stone as a bridge between human history, and the often momentary existence of digital 

data. It is a means of highlighting the disjunction between our relationship with the physical 

world and our ever growing interaction with the digital realm.
